They don't like it. They want everyone to show up having done nothing. They have made a choice to have the life they have... which includes going to the beach on the weekends and or seeing a movie and they want to do that and be on the board. But the fact that I choose not to do those things and be on the board and DO WORK, makes them feel like slackers and they don't like that.

Maybe they think being a board member is more about socializing and *****ing then actually participating in getting things done. Sometimes what works well is getting them to first "say" what needs to be done. For example Harry notices that lights are out and bulbs need changing, that's when you say "great Harry, you can do the lights" anyone else? Or, have a pad with you and as members bring up different things write the person who complains or points something out each time and then at the end asign those individuals with fixing whatever it is they bring up that needs fixing. Even have that person get in touch with someone that can fix whatever it is if it's something that no one can fix themselves.
It's often a challenge when it comes to groups to get everyone to actually DO things. And if you happen to do a lot of it, often people avoid that person because by avoiding that person they can avoid having to actually do anything.
