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.
But the truth is that the only reason the executive director has a job is to fulfill the wishes of the artistic director. And good artistic directors always have a wish list because they want to expand the boundaries of the organization and to consistently produce great art.
