Most nonprofits do NOT have a CEO. That’s why this is alarming.

The head of a nonprofit is usually the Executive Director.

CEOs and EDs do the same jobs. Just different names. In the U.S. there’s been a push by many non profits to change the title to CEO. Only because it sounds sexier.

No. A CEOs job is to make as much money as possible.

An Executive Director is to make decisions that align with the mission statement, which must serve the public good as much as possible.

CEO…sound sexier

Only CEOs think that. Everyone else thinks CEO means “cheif asshole” and is certain that if they got a 3D-printed gun to fire a bullet into the back of their head, the world would be a safer place.
