Unfortunately we are in a bit of flux at the moment.
The larger issue is that PAMPA needs people to step up. The volunteers are transitioning from the old guard to a new generation. I might be the tail end of the old guard, and I can tell you, I do not feel capable of jumping back into it (after having some *very unpleasant* tasks I had to attend to, one of which stands out as one of the more painful incidents I have experienced in any context).
PAMPA has always run on the efforts, sometimes extraordinary efforts, of a very few people. In general, that's the way the membership wants it, and has rejected other models of operation on multiple occasions. But that means that a few people are going to have to come forward and replace those who move on. It was always my goal (and my former EC-mates) to make the various tasks require less extraordinary effort to make them less prone to burning people out, but that requires that everyone pitch in, otherwise, it's back to the secretary/treasurer and newsletter editor working 60-hour weeks at times.
The other thing I discovered was that plenty of people want to be elected to an office, but not to actually stay engaged with the day-to-day operation or duties. I don't use that as an accusation of anyone, but they like the idea of being an officer and are not prepared to deal with the actual work involved in it. And there's a lot of work - a tiny few people will require a disproportionate amount of your time to deal with, we all know who they are. I think this is probably better now than when I did it, but I figure that human nature hasn't really changed in the last 5 years.
I think one of our mistakes over the years was to spend too much time dealing with trivial or unimportant supposed problems raised by these few people, sometimes to the detriment of the rest of the members. But it's very tempting to try to smooth things over or compromise, even when it's a compromise with something completely unreasonable. You only see the tips of the icebergs here.
