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.
The executive director is responsible for establishing an organizationâs climate, work, and processes. Starting a new job is always an exhilarating experience, and in becoming a nonprofit director, you have the power to affect real, lasting change. Whether you are replacing a former executive director or starting your own organization, it is important that your orientation occurs as part of a larger transitional plan.
