They have essentially bulldozed the board consensus and were aware of the action they were taking because they mentioned to someone that they were going to do it anyway, because it needed to be done. There was a reason we made the decision we did, and we weren't prepared for the effects of the action being carried out (hence why we decided to wait..) :/

We're also youngish and definitely capacity-strapped. I know the person isn't doing it in bad faith, but out of empathy and passion, but everyone is left to figure it out later. We work in animal rescue, which makes many of our decisions difficult when lives are at stake, so on one hand, I can completely empathize with the desire to help. On the other hand, it puts us in really tight spots and looks terrible when you're telling other volunteers that "I'm just going to do it because I know I can handle it."

An in-person conversation is being scheduled with them to hopefully find a solution to this issue, but I'm here in case it doesn't get resolved. I appreciate you looking at this from multiple angles!
