§130304 Governing Body

Summary

Makes the board of directors the corporation’s governing body. Between meetings, the board runs the corporation’s policies and programs and manages all its money. How many directors there are, how they are chosen, how vacancies are filled, and how long they serve are set in the corporation’s constitution and bylaws, but the board must have at least 10 directors. Names the officers: a commander, a senior vice commander, a junior vice commander, a chaplain, an adjutant and quartermaster, a judge advocate, an inspector, a surgeon, a historian, and any aides-de-camp the constitution and bylaws provide. The constitution and bylaws also decide how officers are elected, how long they serve, and what their duties are.
