1. Meetings of the board of directors may be held from time to time as provided in the articles or bylaws at any place within or without the state that the board of directors may select or by any means described in subsection (b). If the board of directors fails to select a place for a meeting, the meeting must be held at the principal executive office, unless the articles or bylaws provide otherwise.
2. 1. Unless the articles or bylaws provide otherwise, the board of directors may permit any or all directors to participate by or conduct the meeting through the use of any means of communication by which all directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. A director participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting and the minutes may reflect this.
   2. A meeting held by electronic communication shall be deemed held at the location required by this section, articles or bylaws.
3. Unless the articles or bylaws provide otherwise, the chief manager or the lesser of a majority of the directors or two (2) directors may call a special meeting of the board of directors by giving two (2) days' notice to all directors of the date, time and place of the meeting. The notice need not state the purpose of the meeting, unless this chapter, the articles or the bylaws require it.
4. If the day or date, time, and place of a board of directors' meeting have been provided in the articles or bylaws, or a regular meeting date, time and place have been established by the board of directors, no notice of the meeting is required. Notice of an adjourned meeting need not be other than by announcement at the meeting at which adjournment is taken; provided, that the period of adjournment does not exceed one (1) month for any one (1) adjournment.
5. 1. A director may waive any notice required by this section, the articles or bylaws before or after the date and time stated in the notice. Except as provided in subdivision (e)(2), the waiver must be in writing, signed by the director entitled to the notice, and filed with the minutes or other records of the cooperative.
   2. A director's attendance at or participation in a meeting waives any required notice to the director of the meeting, unless the director at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly upon arrival, objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent to any action taken at the meeting.
