( 7-1-751)
The business affairs of the corporation shall be managed and
controlled by a board of directors, a president, a vice-president, a
secretary, a treasurer, and such other officers and such agents as
the corporation shall authorize by its bylaws. The board of
directors shall consist of such number, not less than 15 nor more
than 21, as shall be determined in the first instance by the
incorporators and thereafter annually by the members and the
shareholders of the corporation. The board of directors may exercise
all the powers of the corporation except such as are conferred by
law or by the bylaws of the corporation upon the shareholders or
members and shall choose and appoint all the agents and officers of
the corporation and fill all vacancies except vacancies in the
office of director, which shall be filled as provided in this Code
section. The annual meeting shall be held prior to May 1 or, if no
annual meeting shall be held in the year of incorporation, then
within 90 days after the approval of the articles at a special
meeting as provided in this Code section. At such annual meeting or
at each special meeting held as provided in this Code section, the
members of the corporation shall elect two-thirds of the board of
directors and the shareholders shall elect the remaining directors.
The directors shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the
corporation or special meeting held in lieu of the annual meeting
after the election and until their successors are elected and
qualified, unless sooner removed in accordance with provisions of
the bylaws. Any vacancy in the office of a director elected by the
members shall be filled by the directors elected by the members, and
any vacancy in the office of a director elected by the shareholders
shall be filled by the directors elected by the shareholders.
Directors and officers shall not be responsible for losses unless
the same shall have been occasioned by the willful misconduct of
such directors and officers. |
