Moxie,
Although I see the need for more on the spot support from a national organization standpoint, there are some situations where nothing more will help. I am not familiar with your chapter and/or its issues but this is how I look at it:
No matter if national officers come down or you receive minute to minute support, it is the caliber of the chapter members that decides the direction of the chapter, not the national organization.
Membership is one of the most important issues a chapter faces, that's why recruitment is so stressful but rewarding! If you have a chapter not willing to work, then no national organization's support will help in any way. The national organization cannot be there from morning til night to make sure each member performs her duties and executes every possible responsibility of chapter life to the best of her ability.
I have had a blessed KD life and have benifited from working with many national officers, but those women have only given me the desire to be better, not constant know how...they make me want to be a better member the will to work at it, daily, comes from within.
It sounds to me that this is not the first problem you have had, maybe a chapter business meeting/motivational speaker could be a big help. Give the chapter members time to voice thier feelings regarding what is working and what needs help? I am sure your CPP can help somehow! If you can ask PH, I am sure other chapters have had the same issues and will be able to speak from their own experiences. What about chapters in your state?
Your organization gives you the plan for success, it's what you do with those plans that count!
AOT
