Does your non-proft know how long a director is allowed to sit on its board before they must be re-elected or re-appointed (term length)?

Note: we are not asking about consecutive term limits.

What is a director's term?

A director’s term is the time the director is allowed to sit on the board until they must be re-elected, be re-appointed, or step down.

A director’s term begins when the director is either elected or appointed to the board.

A director’s term ends when the director must either conclude their time on the board or seek re-election or re-appointment. This should be set out in your non-profit’s bylaws.
