FAQ

If spouses both serve on the same board of directors, the board must include at least three other members who aren't part of the same family. This way, if the spouses team up to vote for a project the other members don't feel is in the spirit of the nonprofit's mission, the other three can outvote them if needed.

A: While not required by federal law, many states have residency requirements for a corporation's board members. No states require that all board members live in the state of incorporation, only the registered agent is required to live in-state.

The Board of Directors shall be composed of individuals who have demonstrated significant achievements in business, education, the professions and/or public service. They must have the requisite intelligence, education and experience to make a significant contribution to the deliberations of the Board of Directors.

If you're unable to vote in person you can ask someone to vote on your behalf. This is called a proxy vote.

Two or more offices may be held by the same individual, except the president may not also serve as secretary or treasurer.

In the absence of his principal from the annual meeting of a business corporation, the proxy has the right to vote in all instances, but he has not the right to debate or otherwise participate in the proceedings unless he is a stockholder in that same corporation.

Your directors do not need to be U.S. citizens nor reside in the U.S. However, if a majority of your board of directors are not U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents, then there are additional complexities. There are additional factors if you operate your organization outside the USA.

A proxy board is a board composed entirely of American citizens which are responsible for the day-to-day running of the business. In this way the company's classified information is "insulated" from foreign exploitation but the parent company still benefits from any profits made by its subsidiary.

In all probability, no. Unless your state nonprofit corporation law provides specific statutory authority for proxy voting by directors (and only a few provide some limited authority to do so), the general rule is that directors may not vote by proxy.

Can a Director appoint a Proxy to attend a board meeting? Well, the answer is NO. A director can not appoint a proxy, who on behalf of the director can attend the meeting of the board of directors (board meeting).
