Officers actively operate and manage the business. 

A company can have several different officer positions. Every company must have a President. Companies can create other positions like CEO, Vice-President, and Treasurer. These can all be held by the same person.

Officers are appointed by the directors to run the day-to-day operations of the corporation. 

Officers owe a duty of care to the corporation. This means they must act honestly and in the best interests of the corporation. They must also avoid conflicts of interest.
