    [A1] A lack of recognition, more often than not, of the staff's work and contributions. Credit sometimes very misdirected. #assnchat

    #assnchat Q1: jealousy in associations. Where to begin? Staff is jealous of perceived "perqs" others get; members are jealous of attention

    A1) I think one way people can be jealous is if they are not praised as much as others - remember everyone is a hard worker #assnchat

    [A1] I sometimes see staff tagging onto other person's successes. Same ones usually first to lay blame as well. #assnchat

    [A1] I often find myself jealous of the resources (financial/volunteers/staff) other Assns have available to them... #assnchat

    [A1] With staff issues, it's probably universal. But with members? Not sure I've seen anything there. #assnchat

    [A1] Think some staff envy those who go to our annual meeting -- thinking it's a sort of vacation or just not wanting to miss out. #assnchat

  17. [Host](Q2): How do you handle jealousy from organization volunteers who feel your org favors one council/vol/etc over another?

  18. AshleyHodak
    AshleyHodakSullivan@AshleyHodak
    [A2] Sadly (or not), b/c many volunteers don't put much stock in the staff, we don't have this issue... #assnchat

    A2. Helps to explain charter of the council/volunteer, their purpose, and how it relates back to the bigger mission/strategic plan #assnchat

    #assnchat Q2: perception is hard to overcome. No matter how much you explain, perceptions won't change easily.

    A2. Perception is often fueled by poor communication or lack thereof. Different volunteer groups have varying purposes & goals #assnchat

    [A2] Decision making processes that are more transparent can help to prevent jealousy. #assnchat ow.ly/aDlYY

    Q2. For the most part assn. volunteers recognize the workhorses & give them credit & often wonder how they do their "day" job. #assnchat
