What is a Board of Directors?
A corporation operates as a legal entity such as an individual person. Just as a person may enter into contracts, open bank accounts, buy and sell things, etc., so can corporations. Just as an individual is responsible for his or her affairs, a corporation’s board of directors assumes corporate responsibility.
A for-profit corporation’s board of directors is responsible to the stockholders who own the business.But since nobody “owns” a nonprofit corporation, the Board of Directors is accountable to the public in general. Accountability is accomplished with a board that represents the public.
K9Nation’s founding three-person board consists of the founder and two others instrumental in the creation of the organization. Our intention is to establish a board of directors that represents the human and geographic diversity of our supporters.To maximize public accountability, however, K9Nation’s Council of Advisors provides advice based upon a widespread consensus of the most active and responsible individuals throughout the country.
