As a founder of an organization I understand the arguing. I would say that that is not the worst thing in the world. At least that way you know that everyone has had an opportunity to say what they think or feel.
One thing that worked well for us was have a meeting where people brainstormed ideas either for change or for staying the same. We then assigned someone the responsibility for pulling together all the ideas and presenting it in a later meeting in written form. We got to see pros and cons of each idea in a really formal way and discussed and then voted on each idea. If there were ideas that people liked equally, we found ways to blend it so that we had the best of both worlds. And sometimes it seemed really tedious because we felt like we were voting on really minute details, but in the end it has saved us major arguments and it made us work well together. I would say the more structure the better. Also, if you learn how to work through these things now, it will make it easier for you to do it in the future.
Good luck with your journey!
