Legal Question in Intellectual Property in New York

Non-profits do not have owners. The founder of a non-profit is not the owner. Decision making is vested within the board of the non-profit that delegates certain powers to the executives.

Generally speaking, unless there is an employment agreement, New York is considered an employment at will state where one can hire or fire for no reason as long as it is not discriminatory. However since you have noted several incorrect legal terms and since firing decisions can often cause resentment and lead to potential legal issues, I recommend that you seek the advice of an attorney in this matter.

Feel free to contact my office at your earliest convenience.
