I'm wrinkling my nose at something

We need a smiley for that.

The board voted to remove someone for extensive unexcused absences and a letter has been drafted.

The Executive Director just got snotty with me for not sending it to him yet.

Uh, that was a board decision. It has nothing to do with you. - nose wrinkle - The board president is signing it.

He told me "Any time something goes out on letterhead, it needs to come through me first since I'll ultimately have to answer for it."

This could just be semantics. Or something. But I'm annoyed. And I think he's being a fucktard.

[LLL]

this smiley won't do but I've never used it before so I figured, why not?

The pirate smiley is always a good ice breaker

And, while it's a pita, I understand keeping the ED informed of decisions. It's not like he has veto power over a board decision, but he needs to be up to date on board action.

I get that he needs to be aware of what's going on but there's this underlying attitude of him thinking the board answers to him and it really rankles.

His delivery sucks.

I can totally see where you're coming from. Am I right that, despite the title, the executive director serves at the pleasure of the board?

Generally speaking, yes.

However our ED serves at the pleasure of the CEO of our parent organization. It's funky. And I don't like it. But we also don't have to pay him so that's a plus.
