All about a Board of Directors
The Executive and Board of Directors, elected by the general membership, of any association are responsible for the day-to-day administration of the organization. At the top of that list of responsibilities is "trusteeship" - taking care of the association's programs, public image and assets.
They are responsible for all funds and spending the money on programs that represent the group's priorities within financial controls to protect the assets and limit the liabilities.
The Board sets goals to reflect the needs of the group, defines obligations and develops plans to reach the goals within the available budget.
The Board also is responsible for communications - within the organization's membership and with the rest of the community - media, potential members, community leaders, other organizations, businesses and government bodies. This is critical to developing and enhancing the organization's public image.
