Get a pocket heater. Wear fingerless mittens.
And then don’t overlook moral pressure. Walk around the office wrapped in a major fleece blanket (emergency orange is good). Wear a knitted hat at all times, and a huge scarf. It’ll make your point.

While proper heaters are forbidden at most offices, the new ‘pocket’ heaters available look basically like computer speakers. And they heat just you and not the whole office, which is even more discreet. Your chances of getting busted are minimal :-).

While not exactly biz cas, the company logo offsets the sportiness (my excuse, anyway).

I have a heated electric foot pad. It kinda stunk like rubber at first, but I feel like its much safer than a heater. Bought it on amazon. But the heating pad would be much more versatile!

Regarding the president, I agree she sounds like a paid–but I think you’re mixing some apples and oranges in here that may undercut your valid arguments. For example, if you have a flash drive with all the financial information on it, why do you need the president’s laptop–which probably has other information besides what pertains to you. To demand the laptop when you already have all the financial info, and know nothing is amiss, can backfire and make you look like a micromanager as well.

Regarding the fundraiser–before you stage a coup over postcards vs emails, have you drawn up a schedule /timeline of what needs to happen and when? If that’s not your job is the person who’s responsible willing to do it? That document becomes “procedure”–and when the president says she’ll do something and misses a deadline. 1) it’s both obvious and impersonal and 2) it forces action without any particular person forcing the issue/
