✶ No President or Executive Director for life. You need to have a board of directors, but it doesn't have to be large.In fact, you can be the only member of your board when you're starting out. The Board of Directors shall execute direct oversight over the President and other senior management in the effective and ethical management of the Corporation. Corporate board positions are actually the true "silver lining" to being in the executive class. We prepare people for success in the workplace. Transitional Employment. Here I'm specifically calling out startup founders of early-stage companies with like 3-5, maybe 10 max employees calling themselves "CEOs". Jamie Rubin will serve as NYCHA Board Chair, Lisa BovaHiatt will become permanent CEO, running daytoday operations leadership appointments. It's weird how often board members get into a conflict with the CEO and decide they'd rather kill the company than lose this fight.
