# Governance

Governance describes the way in which decisions get implemented and the direction of the org gets decided. In traditional companies, this is all handled by a small group of executives at the top of the organization. 

Tech Fleet is a community-driven nonprofit where the members of the community have decision power in the future of the nonprofit's mission. As a nonprofit, Tech Fleet has a board of directors that manage Tech Fleet's direction. Tech Fleet community contributors can be a part of the change in Tech Fleet by voting on change proposals that will be presented to the board of directors, and taking part in [guilds](/guild-portal/guild-directory.md).
