An executive director, being a member of the board and responsible for overall management, cannot evade liability merely by claiming lack of involvement in day-to-day affairs or receiving nominal salary. The court found a prima facie case against the petitioner, an executive director during the alleged offense period. Interfering at this stage would be an abuse of process.
