Kim--Reading between the lines, it seems like rather than just the flowers, you are upset about whole way that your organization handles it's money and it's people. You are most likely right, simply because a lot of non-profits are not very well managed.

The thing is, as a worker bee, there is very little that you can do to change things. I once worked at a place where the Executive Director was so far out in space that *all* the senior managers got together and complained to the board of directors. The board listened to them politely and then replaced them all.

If you are fed up, after seven years, maybe it's time to look around for a place with a mission that you believe in and a management style that you are comfortable with. When you're ready to leave, then you can clue everyone in--
