It seems off topic.
Perhaps you should have volunteered to create a volunteer orientation program given that, as a volunteer, you saw the need and this seems, as you describe, to be an understaffed organization in great need of volunteers. Instead of taking the task in front of you and running with it - you seem to want to... what? rake muck?
The deal with Metro/NOAA seems like you brought politics, of whatever stripe, to a non-profit, non-political organization. Which seems dumb.
And now, with this rant and active media outreach, you seem whiny and self-promotional.
