( 14-10-8)
(a) Board of governors; officers. A professional association
organized pursuant to this chapter shall be governed by a board of
governors elected by the members or shareholders and represented by

decisions constituting the practice of said profession. The officers
of the association shall include a president, vice-president,
secretary, treasurer, and such other officers as the board of
governors may determine. Any one person may serve in more than one
office, except that the president and the secretary of the
professional association shall not be the same person. (b) Bylaws. The members may adopt such bylaws as they may deem
proper, or the power to promulgate bylaws of the association may be
delegated by the articles of association to the board of governors
of the professional association as the members or shareholders may
decide. (c) Voting. Each member or shareholder shall have such power to cast
such vote or votes at the meeting of the members or shareholders as
the articles of association shall provide. (d) Agents and employees. The officers of the professional association may employ such agents or employees of the association as they may deem advisable, subject to Code Section 14-10-6. |
