Re: Founder As Executive Director Conundrum Posted by Linda Procopio on 4/22/2009, 2:16 pm, in reply to "Founder As Executive Director Conundrum" VIP Poster I have had some success with founders by convincing them that the POWER position is to serve as Chairman of the Board, whereas an Executive Director is a hireling that answers to the Board. Often once a professional Executive Director is hired, the founder loosens their grip of 'ownership' of the nonprofit. If the founder insists on personally controlling the organization forever, he should consider restructuring as a for-profit or a private foundation, instead of a public charity. 734 Message Thread: Founder As Executive Director Conundrum - Arlene Spencer 4/21/2009, 12:16 pm Re: Founder As Executive Director Conundrum - Dan Sichelski 4/30/2009, 12:32 pm Re: Founder As Executive Director Conundrum - Linda Procopio 5/5/2009, 7:09 pm Re: Founder As Executive Director Conundrum - Tony Poderis 4/22/2009, 4:15 pm Thank you, Linda and Tony, too! - Arlene Spencer 4/23/2009, 11:10 am Re: Founder As Executive Director Conundrum - Linda Procopio 4/22/2009, 2:16 pm Re: Founder As Executive Director Conundrum - Julie Rodda 4/21/2009, 4:54 pm Thank you! - Arlene Spencer 4/22/2009, 9:57 am « Back to thread Post a Response
