Legal Definitions - manager

A manager is a person who oversees the operations of a business, office, or organization. They are responsible for making sure everything runs smoothly and efficiently. There are different types of managers:

• General Manager: This is a manager who has overall control of a business or organization, including authority over other managers. They are usually equivalent to a president or CEO of a corporation.
• Conference Manager: This is a legislator appointed to a conference committee charged with adjusting differences in a bill passed by both houses in different versions.
• Managing Conservator: This is a court-appointed person responsible for carrying on a business for the benefit of creditors or other beneficiaries.

For example, a general manager of a restaurant oversees the entire operation, including the kitchen, waitstaff, and finances. A conference manager works to reconcile differences in a bill passed by both houses of Congress. A managing conservator is appointed by a court to manage a business for the benefit of creditors.
