COMMENT

This section is taken from the Model Act. It authorizes corporations to operate with delegates rather than, or in addition to, members or a self-perpetuating board. If the corporation has a board of directors, the board is bound by the provisions of Article 8. If delegates are given some or all of the powers of members or directors, they have analogous rights, duties and obligations.
