Chapter 57 - Officers, Directors and Members
5725 - Selection of directors.

     § 5725.  Selection of directors.
        (a)  General rule.--Except as otherwise provided in this
     section, directors, other than those named in the articles, if
     any, shall be elected by the members.
        (b)  Other methods.--If a bylaw adopted by the members so
     provides, directors may be elected, appointed, designated or
     otherwise selected by such person or persons or by such method
     or methods as shall be fixed by, or in the manner provided in,
     such bylaw.
        (c)  Vacancies.--Except as otherwise provided in the bylaws,
     vacancies in the board of directors, including vacancies
     resulting from an increase in the number of directors, shall be
     filled by a majority of the remaining members of the board
     though less than a quorum, and each person so elected shall be a
     director to serve for the balance of the unexpired term unless
     otherwise restricted in the bylaws.
        (d)  Alternate directors.--If the bylaws so provide, a person
     or group of persons entitled to elect, appoint, designate or
     otherwise select one or more directors may select one or more
     alternates for each such director. In the absence of a director
     from a meeting of the board one of his alternates may, in the
     manner and upon such notice, if any, as may be provided in the
     bylaws, attend such meeting and exercise at the meeting such of
     the powers of the absent director as may be specified by, or in
     the manner provided in, the bylaws. When so exercising the
     powers of the absent director, such alternate shall be subject
     in all respects to the provisions of this article relating to
     directors.
        (e)  Nomination of directors.--Unless the bylaws provide
     otherwise, directors shall be nominated by a nominating
     committee or from the floor.
