Committee, staff and volunteers
The organisational chart below depicts a common situation for a non-profit organisation. There are three major components of this structure:
- A management committee, that is the ultimate authority
- Salaried positions - executive director, development officer and coaching director
- The recruitment of volunteers into sections according to essential functions that must be carried out for the organisation to pursue its mission and to follow the strategic plan

This structure depicted in the figure above has five levels of authority and in order they are:
- Management Committee
- The Executive Director
- Salaried officers under the authority of the Executive Director
- Section co-ordinators who in this particular structure are voluntary workers
- Members of sub-committees
Different organisation structures suit different types of organisations. The organisation structure of a non-profit organisation can be very different from a recreation enterprise that is profit-oriented.
