• A These groups are run by volunteers and do not employ staff. The members of the board are, therefore, responsible for:  overseeing the work of the organisation (governance);  organising the daily work (management); and  carrying out the work of the organisation

B

• These organisations usually employ a small number of staff and many may have a single member of staff. While the most senior (or only) member of staff may have a title such as manager, coordinator or administrator, the people who sit on the board will still have some management and operations responsibilities as well
