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.
It has to be understood that the executive director has nothing to do with the board of directors and is more of a CEO or chief executive of an organization. In fact, ED reports to the board of directors on a daily basis. Managing Director is undoubtedly the highest ranking officer and is a link between the administration and the board of directors. He is the ship of the captain who has to take vital decisions at crucial times.
