Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A board of directors is a group of individuals who guide the organization in its mission, finances, and programming. Non-profit agencies follow a model of including a board of directors to aid them in planning and ensuring financial viability for the organization. Each board of directors has traditional officer roles, including president, vice president, treasurer, and secretary. Members of a board of directors are volunteers who have expertise and can aid the organization. The members of a board are fiscally responsible for the agency they support both in monetary donations and in expert guidance. Depending on the role of the manager in relation to the board, the manager should know how to work with the board and communicate with board members as necessary. An executive director of a non-profit organization will work directly with the board, keeping them informed about the organization's functioning and development. Board members may also be expected to financially support the organization through donations.
