Answer:
The Articles of Incorporation is a document filed with the state to incorporate a nonprofit. It typically includes the corporation's name, address, general purpose, and share information. While bylaws are required, they are usually not filed with the state. Bylaws outline how the organization operates, including hiring procedures for officers and directors.
Generally, a corporate officer is not obligated to have an employment contract unless the bylaws or board resolutions specify this requirement. Therefore, you should review the bylaws, resolutions, and meeting minutes related to the hiring of the managing director to determine if a contract is necessary.
