You’ve heard the statement that
LITMA is an
all-volunteer
not-for-profit organization. What
exactly does that mean? (Go ahead and click the links if you want to
know more.)
Basically it means that LITMA
exists in order to serve our charitable and educational
mission.
Although LITMA may sometimes make a profit, it cannot distribute
that profit to shareholders, but rather must apply it to the benefit
of the organization as a whole.
In an all-volunteer not-for-profit
like LITMA, there is no Executive Director or other salaried staff.
Everyone you see running events or handling publicity is a volunteer
who presumably has a “day job.” LITMA sometimes pays for specialized
work by consultants, and of course we compensate our performers!
What is the role of the Board of Directors in
managing LITMA?
All decision-making lies in the
hands of the Board of Directors who delegate the day-to-day
management of the organization to our Event Managers and other Key
Volunteers.
The
President of the Board of Directors, has the responsibility and privilege of chairing the
meetings of the Board of Directors. The president also serves as a spokesperson
for the organization.
Each LITMA volunteer brings unique
talents and interests to LITMA.
However, if LITMA is to grow, our
volunteer workforce has to grow with it.
