Title 15 - CORPORATIONS AND UNINCORPORATED ASSOCIATIONS
Chapter 57 - Officers, Directors and Members
5759 - Voting and other action by proxy.

     § 5759.  Voting and other action by proxy.
        (a)  General rule.--Voting by members of a nonprofit
     corporation shall be only in person unless a bylaw adopted by
     the members provides for voting by proxy. The presence of or
     vote or other action at a meeting of members, or the expression
     of consent or dissent to corporate action in writing, by a proxy
     of a member pursuant to such a bylaw shall constitute the
     presence of, or vote or action by, or written consent or dissent
     of such member for the purposes of this article.
        (b)  Minimum requirements.--Every proxy shall be executed in
     writing by the member or by his duly authorized attorney in fact
     and filed with the secretary of the corporation. A proxy shall
     be revocable at will, notwithstanding any other agreement or any
     provision in the proxy to the contrary, but the revocation of a
     proxy shall not be effective until notice thereof has been given
     to the secretary of the corporation. No unrevoked proxy shall be
     valid after 11 months from the date of its execution unless a
     longer time is expressly provided therein, but in no event shall
     a proxy be voted on after three years from the date of its
     execution. A proxy shall not be revoked by the death or
     incapacity of the maker unless before the vote is counted or the
     authority is exercised, written notice of such death or
     incapacity is given to the secretary of the corporation.
