You bring up a good point. However, at that point she had been on the board in one role or another for about 10 years. New blood and perspectives are needed as well.

My niece and nephews went to a parochial school and in the early years especially, parents were expected to participate in volunteering so many hours per child. Because there were three at one time, it got to be overwhelming so I pitched in a few hours here and there. The problem would be the parents would get burned out. I could see it at the graduations. After that, many dropped out of the church which was a shame. But the leadership in the church did little to discourage it. It was like 'well, your kid doesn't produce us revenue anymore -next!' It left a bad taste in my mouth. But I think it is a related situation in terms of the burnout of serving on a board because the root issues if problems tend not to be addressed. It could also explain some of the reason you see these boards digging their feet in over CV. By design? A few years ago I would have said no but due to the last couple of years, I can't dismiss it.
