Difference between revisions of "Non-Profit Senior Managers and Officers (Societies Act FAQs)"

A senior manager is any individual that is appointed by the directors to exercise their authority and manage the activities or internal affairs of the non-profit. Senior managers can be an employee, contractor, or volunteer, so long as they exercise decision-making authority. A senior manager is not automatically a manager who is in a senior role. A senior manager of a non-profit is similar to an officer in the business world - they are a category of people with particular duties. Every non-profit should be very careful about delegating its authority to anyone outside the directors or an employee by contract.
