What I want to know:

I'm part of a non-profit company and we're trying to iron out our individual roles and responsibilities. We have 8 Directors, 2 of whom are paid on a freelance basis to manage the company and get projects started.

One of those two is the Chair of the Board of Directors and effectively the CEO/MD. We need to define the role of the other one of those. Wanted to go with Executive Director but does this imply they are in charge?

What's a word for a Director who actually spends a good deal of their time doing actual work, but sits underneath another Director, and where most of the other ones are only involved in strategic decisions etc?

Are you still awake?
