The answer to this question will decide whether I will continue with my current org. We have a couple hundred volunteers reporting to a lead that is paid an undisclosed amount from an undisclosed source

    Sounds like a sketchy situation. In orgs where there’s only like one paid staffer imo it should not be leadership getting paid, instead it should be staff doing the tiring work that nobody wants to do. This avoids the obvious conflict of interest in someone using their position of power in the org to get themselves paid.

    If you’re not already, I’d recommend out-organizing this “leader”, which is to say, build your own side group to oppose this. Start with one-on-one conversations with the people who seem on board with you already.

      Really appreciate the help. Oh I can tell you I already have some people on my side, so maybe something can be done :) Things get muddied though because it claims to be “neither democrat nor republican” so the opinions vary quite a bit
