choosing board and officers for charitable organization

I have gotten involved with a charitable organization and have to organize a Board of Directors and Officers. I've never dealt with these issues before. I need help to understand what these offices are, how they are different, and if the same people can serve on both. Do you need a Pres., V.P., secretary and treasurer on both teams? Should they be different persons on each or can the Board serve as Officers too?

If you don't mind answering some questions first. To get to the Forum Help area (where this was initially posted), you had to scroll through all the other areas. I'm curious as to why you skipped over the other forums to post there. Also, when you chose Forum Help there was a bold red warning to read first, that explained what Forum Help is for. You either ignored the warning or ignored the instructions, can you explain why? I ask this so we can undererstand and maybe imporve how this site works.

To answer your question any organization needs some level of management. What that level is and how its structured depends on the scope and purpose of the organization. What the titles and roles of the managers can vary depending on the organization.

Generally there is one overal leader that can be called President, Manager, CEO, Chairman or something similar. There can then be one or more assistants called VPs, Asst Mgrs or similar. There may be a Secretary, who would be responsible for keeping the operational records of the organization, scheduling meetings, keeping meeting notes. by-laws etc. The Treasurer would be responsible for overseeing the financial records of the organization.
