HOW BAD ARE THE POLITICS WITHIN YOUR ASSOCIATION

Being newly elected Board of Directors, I am finding out first hand about the politics within my association. It is tough not getting caught on one side or the other. There are politics within the companies, individuals, and the staff. Wanting to be a part but not part of this is a tough, but wanting to stay on a make a change is well worth it. It is amazing the amount of phone calls about which way you'll vote or " If you help me now, I'll remember you later". Either way I believe I am there for the right reason and that's all the other Realtors that elected me there. I would like to hear some others thoughts on how they made it around these politics and the changes they made. Thanks
