326 - Changing number of trustees.

§  326.  Changing number of trustees. An incorporated United Methodist  church may, at its annual corporate meeting where trustees are  elected,  by  vote  change  the  number  of  its trustees to three, six or nine by  adding more trustees, one-third of which  shall  be  elected  for  three  years,  one-third for two years and one-third for one year; or by voting  to discontinue the offices of certain specified trustees as they expire,  one-third of said offices to be discontinued each year, until the number  left is the number decided upon. Such changes in the board  of  trustees  shall  always  provide that at least two-thirds of the trustees shall be  members of The United Methodist church. No such changes shall affect the  terms of the trustees then in office, but each shall hold  office  until  his  full term has expired unless his office shall terminate as provided  for elsewhere in this article.
