The term of office will begin following elections at the first annual meeting. Individuals may serve no more than two consecutive terms in the same position on the Board. These directors shall be divided into two groups for election purposes. Exceptions to the elections of these groups may be made during the first calendar year of approval of these bylaws in order to fill vacancies as necessary and able.

The directors shall act only as a board and the individual directors shall have no power as such, except that any action which may be taken at a meeting of the directors may be taken without a meeting, if a consent or consents in writing setting forth the action so taken shall be signed by all of the directors in office and shall be filed with the secretary of the MLC.
