524.607 - MEETINGS -- WAIVER OF NOTICE -- QUORUM. - Iowa Statutes

524.607 MEETINGS -- WAIVER OF NOTICE -- QUORUM. The board of directors shall hold at least nine regular meetings each calendar year. No more than one regular meeting shall be held in any one calendar month. Unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws provide otherwise, the board of directors may permit directors to participate in meetings through the use of any means of communication by which all directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. A director participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present at the meeting. A special meeting may be called by any executive officer or a director. Notice of a meeting shall be given to each director, either personally or by mail, at least two days in advance of the meeting. Notice of a regular meeting shall not be required if the articles of incorporation, bylaws, or a resolution of the board of directors provide for a regular monthly meeting date. Attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Whenever any notice is required to be given to any director of a state bank under the provisions of this chapter or under the provisions of the articles of incorporation or the bylaws of the state bank, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the individual or individuals entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be equivalent to the giving of such notice. A majority of the board of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business unless a greater number is required by the articles of incorporation or the bylaws. The act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the board of directors, unless the act of a greater number is required by the laws of this state or of the United States, the articles of incorporation or the bylaws.          Section History: Early Form [C97, § 1846, 1871; S13, § 1871; C24, 27, § 9174, 9224; C31, 35, § 9174, 9224-c1; C39, § 9174, 9224.1; C46, 50, 54, 58, 62, 66, § 526.17, 528.17; C71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, § 524.607]          Section History: Recent Form 95 Acts, ch 148, §65
