§ 7071 Director And Treasurer Roles

A company's director cannot also be its treasurer, and the secretary and treasurer are paid by the board and can be removed whenever the board wants.

Key Takeaways

  • •Directors cannot serve as treasurer
  • •Secretary and treasurer are paid by the board
  • •Board can fire them whenever it wants

Example

A company's director wants to also handle the treasurer duties, but the board decides to keep the treasurer role separate and sets their pay, and can fire them at any time.

Because the law says a director can't be treasurer, the board must choose a different person for treasurer, decide how much they get paid, and they can let them go whenever they choose.
