>>I suggest that you run for election to the board at the first possible moment. And get like minded folks to run. I know I have served on our board several times.

Well if you and your like minded friends are the ones on the board, it couldn't happen, could it? The problem it is often easier to complain about those in charge, than to take the reins.
