FAQ
An S Corp, like a C Corp, must have a board of directors. Directors represent the company and make decisions on behalf of the shareholders. If your S Corp has more than three shareholders, you'll need to appoint at least three directors. S Corps with fewer than three shareholders must have a director per shareholder.
Board members are usually appointed by voting members, who cast their votes on who should be selected for a board in an election. If a nonprofit organization chooses to remain unincorporated, they legally do not need to appoint a board of directors to run.
Federal and state-level laws, as well as a company's incorporation documents, require public and private corporations in the U.S. to have boards of directors (BoDs). Although private LLCs do not have the same requirements, some choose to elect a board of directors after incorporating.
Ing to law, S corps must be governed by a board of directors that elects officers to manage the company's daily affairs. Owners of an LLC can choose to govern it themselves or have managers do it.
Typically, a director is (or should be) a shareholder in the company. Directors are appointed, i.e. voted into office, by the shareholders of a company at a properly convened meeting of shareholders.
Every public company must have a board of directors. Many private companies and nonprofit organizations will have a board of directors, often called a board of trustees, as well.
Shareholders and directors have two completely different roles in a company. The shareholders (also called members) own the company by owning its shares and the directors manage it. Unless the articles say so (and most do not) a director does not need to be a shareholder and a shareholder has no right to be a director.
If your business is a corporation, then you are required by law to have a board of directors. Depending on your particular corporate structure and your state, one or two directors may be all that's legally required.
Each year there's an election during the annual shareholders meeting, and through a proxy statement, the company puts up a slate of directors for shareholders to vote on. Typically, that's noncontroversial, but if there's an activist stockholder, they may push people off the board so they can get their members on.
The steps include: Build Relevant Experience. Develop a Strong Professional Network. Develop a Value Proposition. Identify Open Positions. Participate in the Selection Process.
