17:12B-65. Officers
65. The officers of every State association shall be a president, one or more vice presidents, a secretary and a treasurer and may include a chairman of the board if the bylaws so provide, together with such other officers as provided by the bylaws or as determined by the board to be necessary for the conduct of the State association's business. All officers shall be savings members or savings depositors, as the case may be, of the State association. They shall be elected by the board or may be appointed by the president if the authority to appoint officers other than the president or chairman of the board has been delegated to the president by the bylaws or by resolution of the board, unless the bylaws provide for their election by the members or stockholders of the State association. Each officer shall be elected or appointed for a term of not more than one year, but shall continue in office until the election or appointment and qualification of his successor. Any two offices, except the offices of president and vice president, may be held by one person. No officer shall act as attorney or conveyancer of his State association. A vacancy in any office may be filled by the board for the unexpired term. The board may appoint or employ or authorize any officer to appoint or employ assistant officers or assistants to officers subject to the confirmation of the board or approval of the president; provided, however, that assistants to officers shall not be considered as officers, but as employees.
