The shareholders may elect a director at any time to fill a vacancy not tilled by the directors. Any such election by written consent other than to fill a vacancy created by the removal of a director requires the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.
Any director may resign effective upon giving written notice to the chairperson of the board of directors, the president, the secretary' or to the board of directors unless the notice specifies a later time for the effectiveness of the resignation.. If the resignation is effective at a later time, a successor may be elected to take office when the resignation becomes effective. Any reduction of the authorized number of directors does not remove any director prior to the expiration of such director's term in office.
