Can a nonprofit corporation sale goods for profit?

Can a non profits board be paid employees of that non profit?
If your question has to do with non-profit condominium association boards, your governing documents should be clear on this point. Most documents preclude paying board members, because the positions are strictly volunteer positions. As well, no board member -- usually -- can profit from sitting on a board voting to do business with a vendor in which the board member has an interest.
Can non profit board members work for the non profit?
Yes. More often than not, CEOs serve the board yet do not have a seat on that board, but occasionally they do. Other than such instances, it is unusual for board members of public charities to also have seats on the board. It is unusual but not unheard of for foundation employees to also have seats on the board. The agency's bylaws will dictate what is allowable for individual agencies.

It's a non-profit organization, not owned by anyone. Girl Scouts of the USA is a non-profit membership organization and does not have private owners. Instead, the organization has a controlling board, the National Board of Directors.

Does non-profit pay the directors?
Non-profit organizations can pay their directors, but it is not the norm. If directors are paid, it should be reasonable and commensurate with the services they provide to the organization. Payments should be disclosed in the organization's financial records and reported accurately.
What does a board of trustees do?
The responsibilities and requirements for action by a board of trustees depends upon the organization for which the members serve. For example, WiseGeek reports: "In non-profit organizations, the Board of Trustees often provides a means for members or associates of the organization to elect or appoint individuals that will oversee the function of the organization, ensuring that the core values and purposes of the organization are reflected in the operation process." In some arts organizations, becoming a member of the board means donating rather large sums of money. In these cases, serving as a board member is primarily a social function that can bring prestige to a person's C.V. You can find this in some symphony and opera situations. In addition, members are expected to influence others to donate money and attend performances. Usually in a for-profit corporation, the equivalent board is called a board of directors. Often, the goal of the directors in this case is roughly equivalent of the goals stated for the non-profit organization, above.
In Indiana can a non profit board be changed from an advisory board to a working board without member approval?

Can a non Board of Director person attend a Board of Directors Meeting?
yes, he can for as long as the by-laws allows anyone to attend a board of directors' meeting. That person, however allowed to participate in the board's deliberations, can not vote on any issues and concern.
I have been asked to be on the board of a non-profit 501-C3 organization. Do I or the organization need liability insurance to protect the board members?
It is always a good idea to carry liability insurance to insulate yourself from any legal actioon.
Can an employee of a non-profit serve on that non-profit's board of directors?
Yes. More often than not, CEOs serve the board yet do not have a seat on that board, but occasionally they do. It is unusual but not unheard of for foundation employees to also have seats on the board. The agency's bylaws will dictate what is allowable for individual agencies.
