Resignation of directors

(a) A director may resign at any time by delivering notice in writing or by electronic transmission to the board of directors, its presiding officer, or to the president or secretary, or in such other manner as the articles or bylaws may provide. (b) A resignation is effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice specifies a later effective date. (Code 1981, § 14-3-807, enacted by Ga. L. 1991, p. 465, § 1; Ga. L. 2004, p. 508, § 39.) COMMENT This section is based on the Model Act and on its Business Code counterpart. While the Business Code specifies that written notice of resignation be delivered to ‘‘the board of directors, its chairman, or to the corporation,’’ this section follows the Model Act’s designation of individuals to whom the notice of resignation may be delivered.
