(1) The board at its first meeting after the annual membership meeting shall elect board officers from among its members, as provided in the credit union's bylaws.

The board officers shall hold office until their successors are qualified and elected, unless sooner removed as provided in this chapter. All board officers must be elected members of the board. However, the office of board treasurer and board secretary may be held by the same person and need not be elected members of the board.
