COMMENT

This section is based on the Model Act and on its Business Code counterpart. While the Business Code specifies that written notice of resignation be delivered to "the board of directors, its chairman, or to the corporation," this section follows the Model Act's designation of individuals to whom the notice of resignation may be delivered.
