§648. Elections; oath of office
A. At an annual meeting the members shall elect a board of directors, and, where bylaws provide, a credit committee, and a supervisory committee. No member of the board shall be a member of either of the committees. All members of the board and committees and all officers hold their offices for such terms as are provided in the charter or bylaws.
B. Immediately following their election, and in every case before assuming the duties of their office the directors shall take an oath of office to discharge their duties as directors properly and conscientiously, which oath shall be entered into the minutes of the next regular or special meeting of the board of directors and shall be retained in the records of the credit union for examination by the commissioner. These oaths shall be in writing and signed, and shall be renewed as to each director upon the occasion of each reelection to the board.
Forms of the oath shall be furnished by the commissioner. The commissioner may suspend any director who fails to comply with this requirement and no suspended director may be reinstated, except for good cause shown after taking the oath.
C.(1) No person shall be eligible to serve as a director or committee member of a credit union unless he or she is a shareholder, owning, in his or her own right, at least one fully paid share the par value of which shall be stated in the credit union bylaws.
(2)In the case of a corporate credit union, no designated representative of a credit union, serving as a director or committee member of a corporate credit union, shall be eligible to serve as a director or committee member of a corporate credit union, unless such credit union owns at least one fully paid voting capital share, as defined in the corporate credit union bylaws.
D. The bylaws of the credit union shall clearly define the procedure for election. They shall set forth the number of directors to be elected.
