15A:6-7. Quorum of board of trustees and committees; vote required; action of trustees without a meeting

a. A majority of the entire board, or of any committee thereof, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, unless the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws shall provide that a greater or lesser number constitutes a quorum, which in no case shall be less than the greater of two persons or one-third of the entire board or committee, except that when a committee of the board consists of one trustee, then one trustee shall constitute a quorum.

b. The act of the majority present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the board or the committee, unless the act of a greater number is required by this act, the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws. Any action required to be authorized by a vote of the trustees greater than a majority shall be rescinded or modified only by a like vote.

c. Unless otherwise provided by the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken pursuant to authorization voted at a meeting of the board or any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if, prior or subsequent to the action, all members of the board or of the committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing and the written consents are filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the board or committee. The consents shall have the same effect as a unanimous vote of the board or committee for all purposes, and may be stated as such in any certificate or other document filed with the Secretary of State.
