Summary

The corporation is run by a board of directors. When the corporation is not meeting, the board sets the main policies, runs the programs, and controls all of the corporation’s money. The constitution and bylaws say how many directors there are, how they are chosen, how to fill vacancies, and how long they serve. The board must have at least 36 directors. The corporation’s officers are a president, one or more vice presidents (as the constitution and bylaws allow), a secretary, and a treasurer. The constitution and bylaws also say how those officers are elected, how long they serve, and what their duties are.
