Annotations
COMMENT Source: Model Act, § 8.22. This replaces provisions formerly found in § 14-2-148(b) & (d). Regular meetings of the board of directors may be held without notice and special meetings require only two days’ notice unless other requirements are imposed by the articles of incorporation or bylaws. The notice may be written or oral. Also, no statement of the purpose of either a regular or special meeting is necessary unless required by the articles of incorporation or bylaws. These requirements differ from
the requirements applicable to meetings of shareholders because of fundamental differences in their roles: directors are expected to be more closely involved in corporate affairs than shareholders, and meetings of directors are held more systematically and regularly than meetings of shareholders. They continue the practice of former Georgia law, § 14-2-148(b) and (d). Cross-References Action without meeting, see § 14-2-821. Articles of incorporation, see § 14-2-202 and Article 10, Part 1. Bylaws, see § 14-2-206 and Article 10, Part 2. Effective date of notice, see § 14-2-141. Meetings of board of directors, see §§ 14-2-820 &
