What is the role of the directors and officers?

The board of directors – which may be one person (typically in one shareholder corporations) or as many as the By-Laws provide for — are the responsible parties for making policy and overseeing the operation of the business, although they typically select officers to deal with normal everyday operations.

The corporate officers usually are a President, one or more Vice-Presidents, the Secretary and a Treasurer. In larger enterprises, there may be hundreds of officers.
