    A director may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Board, its presiding Officer, or the President or Secretary. A resignation is effective when the notice is given unless the notice specifies a later effective date. If a resignation is made effective at a later date, the Board may fill the pending vacancy before the effective date if the Board provides that the successor does not take office until the effective date.

Section 5.4. Removal of Directors.

    The members may remove one or more directors (including the entire Board) without cause, provided that a director may be removed by the members only at a membership meeting called for the purpose of removing the director and the meeting notice must state that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the membership meeting is the removal of the director (naming the director to be removed).

Section 5.5. Vacancy on Board.

    If a vacancy occurs on the board of directors, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors, any of the following may occur:

    (a) The members may fill the vacancy.

    (b) The Board may fill the vacancy.

    (c) If the directors remaining in office constitute fewer than a quorum of the Board, they may fill the vacancy by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the directors remaining in office.

Section 5.6. Compensation of Directors.

    Directors shall not be entitled to compensation for their services as directors, provided, however, that the Corporation shall reimburse directors for expenses reasonably incurred on behalf of or in fulfilling their duties to the Corporation.
