Meetings Of Board Of Directors And Committees

32-3-411. Meetings of board of directors and committees. (1) Either the board of directors or the executive committee shall meet each month. The board of directors or the executive committee may meet at other times as necessary.

(2) Unless specifically prohibited by the bylaws, directors and members of the supervisory committee or credit committee may participate in and act at any meeting of the board or the supervisory or credit committee through the use of communications equipment that enables all persons participating in the meeting to communicate with each other. Participation in the meeting in this manner constitutes attendance.

(3) Unless specifically prohibited by the bylaws, any action required by this chapter to be taken at a meeting of the board of directors or a committee or any other action that may be taken at a meeting of the board of directors or a committee may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing setting forth the action taken is signed by all the directors of the board or the committee members entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter of the action taken. The written consents must be evidenced by one or more written approvals, each of which sets forth the action taken and bears the signature of one or more board directors or committee members. All the approvals evidencing the consent must be delivered to the secretary to be filed in the corporate records of the credit union. The action taken is effective when all the directors or committee members have approved the consent unless the consent specifies a different effective date. A consent signed by all the directors or committee members has the same effect as a unanimous vote and may be stated as a unanimous vote in any document filed with the department under this chapter.
