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

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. Just because a person is a manager in a senior role does not automatically make them a senior manager under the ''Societies Act''. 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.
