1Opinion of the Court
THOMAS, Circuit Judge:
This appeal presents the question of whether directors of a nonprofit organization or independent volunteer producers may be considered employees within the meaning of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq., and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq. We conclude that they may not, and we affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment holding that the nonprofit corporation does not have a sufficient number of employees to be considered an “employer” within the meaning of the statutes.
