Answer:
A corporation must have bylaws, which outline how it operates, including the removal of directors. While states typically do not require filing these bylaws, they must be followed. Whether a director can be removed without notice depends on the specific rules in the corporation's bylaws regarding notice and removal procedures. It's advisable to consult a local attorney to review the relevant documents and facts.
Directors are elected by shareholders and can manage the corporation's affairs directly in smaller companies, while larger corporations delegate management to corporate officers. The articles of incorporation and corporate bylaws specify the number of directors and their terms. Directors hold regular meetings and may call special meetings as needed. A quorum, or minimum number of directors, must be present to make decisions, as defined by the bylaws or state statutes.
