==Board rolls and structure==
==Board rolls and structure==
The "normal" officer positions to accomplish the statutory functions of a corporation are '''president''', '''treasurer''', and '''secretary''' (one to be in charge and execute directions of the board, one to handle and account for the finances, and one to keep records). They can be called whatever one desires and the same person can conduct more that one function, although if there are enough people it is preferable to separate the duties. For a non-profit, there are also issues of accountability that strongly argue for separating the duties, so that no one person has too much power.


For the board itself, there are no positions, although most boards will elect a chairperson to run the meeting. Other than that, you are free to choose whatever structure works for you.
