Selection of directors

(1) The directors of a membership corporation, except for any initial directors named in the articles of incorporation or elected by the incorporators, shall be elected by the members entitled to vote at the time at the first annual meeting of members, and at each annual meeting thereafter. Notwithstanding this subsection, the articles of incorporation or bylaws may provide some other time or method of election, or provide that some or all of the directors are appointed by some other person or designated in some other manner. (2) The directors of a nonmembership corporation, except for any initial directors named in the articles of incorporation or elected by the incorporators, shall be elected, appointed, or designated as provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws. If no method of election, appointment, or designation is set forth in the articles of incorporation or bylaws, such directors are elected by the board of directors. (3) If the articles of incorporation or bylaws divide, or authorize dividing, the members into classes, the articles of incorporation or bylaws may also authorize the election of all or a specified number of directors by the holders of one or more authorized classes of members. A class or multiple classes of members entitled to elect one or more directors is a separate voting group for purposes of the election of directors.
