The Bucks County Folk Song Society (in PA) has 80-100 members on the books. We elect a Pres, VP, Scty, & Treas each year. The Pres is limited to 3 consecutive terms. We have a governing board consisting of the four officers, the newsletter editor, and a few volunteers. We've been at it successfully for over 35 years now, so I guess it can work. A lot of it has to do with the fact that (in my humble opinion) these are wonderful people who have the society's (and each other's) best interest at heart.Bert C.
