# O.C.G.A. § 2-10-88. Election of officers.

(a) The directors shall elect from their number a president and one or more vice-presidents. They shall also elect a secretary and a treasurer, who need not be directors. They may combine the two latter offices and designate the combined office as secretary-treasurer. The treasurer may be a bank or any depositary and, as such, it shall not be considered as an officer but as a function of the board of directors. In such case the secretary shall perform the usual accounting duties of the treasurer, provided that funds shall be deposited only as authorized by the board of directors.

(b) The charter of the association may provide for the election of its officers by the members of the association and from persons other than the directors thereof. Any provision of the nature referred to in the preceding sentence contained in the charter of an association or an amendment thereto as of March 30, 1965, is ratified and confirmed as though placed therein subsequent to March 30, 1965.
