Our chair helped set up the pre-school and has done her time. She wants to resign but no-one has agreed to step in. I am quite pro-active helping as much as I can and doing recruitment etc on the committee and she approached me and asked me to do it. I said I had thought about it and decided I couldn't give it enough committment for various reasons. A week went by and I was collared again at church and asked if I would think about it as there was no-one else coming forward. I said I would consider it. I gave it a great deal of thought but still felt it was not for me. I cannot give it enough committment and importantly I am not at all happy about the Pre-school manager (older than me and much more experienced) 'reporting' to me. I explained this again and said no and felt relieved I had made the right decision.
We have a meeting tonight that has to happen as we have to decide on pay rises. I had called the chair earlier in the week to add something on to the agenda. I had to leave a message. The current chair just called me and said thanks for my call this week about the agenda, but she will not be able to make it tonight and so I can do what I want really !
Help.
The thing is we will all get there and I will end up running the meeting as no-one else will and actually I probably know what should be on the agenda.
I am really fed up though and feel I am having a position 'forced' upon me.
What can I do. I love this pre-school and how it is run and my dd has thrived there, but at the risk of sounding like my four year old this isn't fair!!!!
