All directors are equal, but those in the non-profit are slightly less so than those in corporate surroundings

The level of remuneration of a managing director in the non-profit sector is generally lower than that of a director of a commercial company. But both directors depend on the trust of the body that appointed them. Despite the equal risk of harm, the director with the relatively low remuneration package cannot count on more leniency. On the contrary, the District Court of Utrecht confirmed in a ruling that directors of an association (non-profit) are actually entitled to more thrifty treatment than those of a commercial enterprise in the event of dismissal without a sound legal basis. After all, the court reasoned, the director’s salary and fees must be paid by the association from the contributions of its members.
