207 - The number of trustees of Jewish congregations and voting by proxy at certain meetings thereof.

 
    §  207.  The  number of trustees of Jewish congregations and voting by
  proxy at certain meetings thereof. A congregation of  the  Jewish  faith
  may  at  any  general  or  special  corporate meeting thereof change the
  number of its trustees to not more than seventy-two and classify them so
  that the terms of one-third shall expire  each  year  and  the  trustees
  elected  shall  hold  office  for  three  years.  Whenever the number of
  trustees in office is less than the  number  determined  on,  sufficient
  additional  trustees  shall  be  elected  to  make  the  total number of
  trustees equal to the number determined on. The additional  trustees  so
  to  be  elected  shall be classified and hold office for such terms, not
  exceeding three years each, so that the terms of one-third of the  total
  number  of trustees shall expire each year, and thereafter for a term of
  three years each. The right of the members of such congregation to  vote
  at  meetings  thereof shall be fixed by its by-laws, but every member of
  such congregation entitled to vote at any meeting thereof  may  vote  by
  proxy  on any proposition to sell, mortgage or lease any of its property
  or for its consolidation with one or more other  religious  corporations
  of the Jewish faith, or, in a city having a population of one million or
  more according to the latest federal census, in any election of trustees
  or  officers.  Every  proxy  must  be  executed in writing by the member
  conferring the same and shall not be given to any person  other  than  a
  member of the congregation. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration
  of  one  year  from  the  date  of its execution.   Every proxy shall be
  revocable at the pleasure of the person executing it.
