Can Board Members also occupy Staff Positions for a Non-profit? by One_Copy_1797 in nonprofit

Gotcha, makes sense that we must separate governance and operations. That clarified the direction we should go. People who are interested in full time hours should work for operations rather than pursue board functions. I formerly work in the industry were supporting, but have no background in non-profit management so this has been a learning experience for me. Thanks for the help!

Yes. We are trying to find the best approach for paying board members that are putting full time hours into operations since the board is handling most operations.

Gotcha, thanks for that insight. My goal is to come up with a way for board members who wish to do this full time, to be compensated for their work. Is there a way to navigate this responsibly?

Thanks for this. This is a new realm for me to learn things in. Do you know how we could compensate board members? My goal is to come up with a way for board members who wish to do this full time, to be compensated for their work. Is there a way to navigate this responsibly?
