You have a nearly singular opportunity to learn what our Congressional representatives haven't. Being the person in charge can be very difficult and very regularly you have to work with douchebags. And STILL have to get things done. The good news is when you start to be really annoyed by headquarters' interference, you're probably about ready to be on your own.

I'm sure you have other advisors there to help. If your national rep isn't treating you like the boss (which she should - you're the president) then you need to go over her head. It's very possible that she doesn't have that much experience and/or the experience she does have isn't similar to your situation. While I don't condone going over someone's head at the first problem, if you are that frustrated, now is the time. She is there to facilitate YOU, not the reverse.

But don't quit, for a whole bunch of reasons. Stick it out for the good of the group and for the good of yourself. If this were the only time in your life you encounter this type of hard-headed management, you would be a VERY lucky person. Trust me, and I apologize, but you've got plenty more of this in your life.
