Officer Responsibilities

Some responsibilities are held in common by all officers and directors, and some duties are specific to a particular office. The bylaws should set out these particularities in general terms, and specific responsibilities that may change over time should be stipulated in other governing policy documents.

Common Responsibilities

Sample Provisions

Example 1: The authority and duties of the officers shall be as prescribed in writing by the Board of Trustees.

Example 2: The Officers shall perform the duties normally associated with their respective offices. In addition and not in limitation, the Officers shall have the duties defined herein and in a statement of "Officer and Committee Responsibilities" approved by the Board.

Example 3: In addition to serving on the Executive Committee and exercising the powers and duties of their respective offices, each Officer shall have any further powers and duties assigned to them by the Board.
