Because of this we are having trouble setting up at events (as members will only show up on time if other members in there "clique" are there on time). My question for anyone who can help is;

"Have you dealt with a problem similar, and how can we solve this problem quickly?"


Any an all help is much appreciated!!!!!

Any time you have a large group of people, in most organizations "cliques" are generally going to form. I think that's where you as president and leader need to step in and make things happen. At my chapter, depending on what we were trying to put together, the president had the last say so, if we couldn't come to an agreement.
