RS 6:714
§714. Officers and agents; election, powers, duties
A. The board of directors shall elect a president, or chief executive officer, cashier or chief financial officer, and a secretary, who shall each be a different person, and shall elect a chairman of the board. One or more vice presidents may be elected. None of the officers except the chairman and the president or chief executive officer are required to be a director of the association. No person holding more than one office may sign in more than one capacity any instrument required by law to be signed by two officers.
B. The board may elect and appoint such other officers and agents as may be necessary for conducting the business of the association in the manner provided by the bylaws.
C. Every association shall be deemed to have the following registered agents, who shall be the president or chief executive officer, the cashier or chief financial officer, and the secretary of the association. Service of citation or other legal process on an association shall be made by personal service on any of the named registered agents. If the officer making service certifies that he is unable, after diligent effort, to have service made on the registered agents, service may be made on any officer of the association at the main office of the association.
D. The officers and agents shall have such rights and perform such duties in the management of the association as may be prescribed by the articles or bylaws or by the board of directors.
E. Election or appointment of an officer shall not, of itself, create contract rights. Any officer or agent may be removed by the board of directors, with or without cause, at any time, without prejudice, however, to the contract rights of the person so removed.
F. Except as otherwise provided in the articles or bylaws or by resolution of the board of directors, the president or chief executive officer, or the cashier or chief financial officer, shall have the power, in the name and on behalf of the association, to authorize the filing, prosecution, or defense of any suit or other legal proceeding. Such persons shall have the authority to direct, in the association's name, the issuance of conservatory writs and to bond property in legal custody, to execute bonds in connection with any legal proceedings, and to make affidavits required by law or rules of court.
Such acts shall have the same force and effect as an act of the association itself and shall be binding upon it.
Acts 1989, No. 133, §1, eff. June 22, 1989; Acts 2001, No. 637, §1, eff. June 22, 2001; Acts 2003, No. 72, §1, eff. May 28, 2003.
