Question of the Week

June 19-26, 2018

May person serve as executive director of two nonprofits?

I am currently the part-time executive director of a small nonprofit and I have a business plan for my own nonprofit venture that I would like to start next year. Both nonprofits would serve the same community (the new one would serve other counties nearby as well). They are both "education" based and there may be a conflict of interest when it comes to funding. The workload is not my concern so much as being an E.D. at two locations. Is there any legal reason I can't remain E.D. at both places while this is happening? Answer
