> A Vice President is a corporate officer but a director isn't.

Director is typically above Vice President in financial firms. I’m not sure I follow your reasoning.

Officer = legal responsibility

Director = high level manager (of other managers)

You think that the vice-presidents are officers and the directors above them are not? Do the VPs lose their legal responsibilities and powers when they are promoted?

Directors are also officers, just more senior than VPs.
