A program coordinator leaves for a new role, and for once the work does not leave with her. The programs are boards, the commitments have owners, and the reasons behind the decisions are written beside the work they shaped.
Her replacement reads a week of boards in an afternoon and knows what is promised to whom. The volunteers who only come on weekends open the same room and see the same picture.
The team is the same size it was. It simply stopped spending its best hours reconstructing itself.
