Effective governance is paramount to the success and sustainability of any institution. Central to this governance structure are the roles and responsibilities of board officers, who serve as stewards of the institution’s mission, resources, and strategic direction. Recognizing the critical significance of these roles, the In Trust Center has drafted comprehensive board officer descriptions tailored to guide institutional boards in fulfilling their duties effectively.

These officer role descriptions serve as invaluable resources, offering insights into the multifaceted responsibilities of board officers. Crafted with careful consideration of best practices and informed by the evolving landscape of nonprofit governance, these templates aim to ensure good governance and institutional well-being.

Whether your institution is establishing a new board structure or seeking to refine existing practices, these templates provide a framework for delineating the roles and responsibilities of board chair, vice chair, governance chair, finance chair, treasurer, and secretary.
