Two of the most common questions I get from people who are looking to start a not-for-profit are: "Can I pay myself?" and "Can I be on the Board while working in the NFP?"

Whether you have an NFP or are looking to set up an NFP, it can be very useful to understand the relationship and dynamics between Members, Directors and Employees.  As a founder, can you be all three at once?

In today's episode, I clarify these roles and responsibilities and discuss how to achieve a balanced NFP structure.

I'll be focusing on the practicalities of starting a NFP in upcoming episodes, each will cover a different aspect for you to consider when starting up a NFP.
