Directors guide and are involved in the fundamental decisions of the corporation on behalf of the shareholders. Officers are selected by the directors and run the day-to-day operations of the corporation. These do not need to be separate people. Any person can fill all three positions.
Director, a director is the person who takes part in managing important business affairs, while officers oversee daily aspects of a business. Officers are also directly involved in the daily management affairs of the business.
Most commonly, directors are appointed by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), or in extreme circumstances, at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM). A resolution for the appointment is put to a vote, and passed if a majority of shares are voted in favour.
Any person willing to be appointed by a director, and permitted by law to do so can be appointed by ordinary resolution of a general meeting or by resolution of the directors.
All eligible directors must either sign copies of the written resolution, or otherwise agree to it in writing. A sole director will usually make decisions by written resolution.
Generally, the board of directors is responsible for making major business and policy decisions and the officers are responsible for carrying out the board's policies and for making the day-to-day decisions.
According to the Companies Act, only an individual can be appointed as a member of the board of directors. Usually, the appointment of directors is done by shareholders. A company, association, a legal firm with an artificial legal personality cannot be appointed as a director. It has to be a real person.
Officers are appointed by the board of directors to run the day-to-day operations of the corporation.
The board of directors appoints corporate officers to handle daily operations. The corporate officers usually consist of a president, one or more vice presidents, the secretary, and a treasurer. You might be familiar with terms like CEO (chief executive officer) or CFO (chief financial officer).
When directors cast votes, they may incidentally be officers but when they vote, they vote as directors, not officers. The president, vice president, secretary and treasurer are allowed to vote if they are directors--but they are doing so as directors, not officers.
