I'd also bring this up to the new head mentor--if he doesn't mind your doing it, then the previous head mentor needs to back off.
When I was doing the communications last year, nobody ever complained about not knowing what was going on. I opened up different social media accounts to help make it more convenient, and I made are to send out multiple emails before one meeting just in case it had slipped someone's mind. I was also generally able to get a response from everybody, and even if someone missed a meeting they generally knew what was happening. I was even specifically asked to email new team members about things because of my enthusiasm. That's what made the entire comm. thing a little confusing.
And I definitely see the point about stepping down in a group. I hadn't thought about that but it seems to explain a lot.
