What does an Interim Executive Director do? An interim nonprofit Executive Director (ED) works for the Board of Directors and runs the organization for a specific period of time â usually 6 months to 15 months. Perhaps more importantly, the interim helps the Board assess the current situation so there is a clear and shared vision of what the organization needs in its next permanent leader.
Differences Between an Executive Director and a Chief Executive Officer The most obvious difference between an executive director and a CEO is that an executive director most often runs a nonprofit organization, while a CEO is the head of a for-profit company.
