Clarifying roles and boundaries

Created: December 17, 2020 at 11:42 AM | Updated: December 17, 2020 | By NZ Navigator Trust

The division of roles and responsibilies in community organisations can be difficult to clearly define, and can vary significantly from one organisation to the next.

This resource includes a table that shows how areas can be split between the governance team's role (carrying ultimate responsibility) and the staff (delivering within set targets/boundaries).

The table will give you a starting point to determine how the division of roles works best in your organisation. 

The essential distinctions between these roles are:

  • the role of the governance team is to lead, direct and ensure the organisation operates effectively; and
  • the role of the staff is to manage, implement and carry out work that helps the organisation achieve its mission/overall purpose.
