FAQ
Some organizations have non-voting participants called honorary members. Any person who attends board meetings but does not have the right to vote is not considered an official board member. However, this practice is not recommended because these individuals can be held liable for the board's decisions.
A: The short answer to your question is that members of the board of directors cannot use proxies to vote at board meetings when the director is not in attendance at the meeting. However, unit owners can use proxies to participate at membership meetings they do not physically attend.
(a) If the bylaws of a corporation require notice of a meeting to be given to a director, a written waiver of the notice signed by the director entitled to the notice, before or after the meeting, is equivalent to the giving of the notice.

No. The Texas Business Organizations Code requires a nonprofit corporation to have at least three directors, one president, and one secretary. The same person cannot be both the president and secretary. Officers and directors must be natural persons, but may be known by other titles.
The Texas Non-Profit Corporation Act requires any nonprofit seeking corporate status to file certain documents, known as the articles of incorporation and a certificate of formation with the secretary of state's office.
The IRS generally requires a minimum of three board members for every nonprofit, but does not dictate board term length. What is important to remember is that board service terms aren't intended to be perpetual, and are typically one to five years. Service terms must be outlined in the nonprofit bylaws.
The simple answer is that most authors agree that a typical nonprofit board of directors should comprise not less than 8-9 members and not more than 11-14 members. Some authors focusing on healthcare organizations indicate a board size up to 19 members is acceptable, though not optimal.
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.
Presently, proxy voting is illegal, but it has nonetheless been occurring since before 1989.
