- State: Illinois
Answer:
The title of Chairman Emeritus is honorary and can be conferred upon any number of individuals, depending on the company's governing documents. The specific number of titles a company can grant is determined by its charter, bylaws, or operating agreement. These documents outline the qualifications and procedures for appointing corporate officers, including the Chairman. While corporations are required to have bylaws, they typically do not need to file them with the state. Bylaws serve as the rules for corporate governance, including the roles of officers, directors, and shareholders. Companies must adhere to corporate formalities, such as keeping their records updated, which includes amending bylaws as necessary.
