(805 ILCS 305/8) (from Ch. 106 1/2, par. 108)
Sec. 8.
A professional association organized pursuant to the provisions of
this Act shall be governed by a Board of Directors or an Executive
Committee elected by the members, and represented by officers elected by
the Board of Directors or Executive Committee, so that centralization of
management will be assured, and no member shall have the power to bind the
association within the scope of the association's business or profession
merely by virtue of his being a member of the association. Officers and
members of the Board of Directors or Executive Committee shall be members
of the professional association. Officers need not be members of the Board
of Directors or Executive Committee except that the President shall be a
member of the Board of Directors or Executive Committee. The members may
adopt such by-laws as they may deem proper, or the power to promulgate
by-laws of the association may be delegated by the articles of association
to the Board of Directors or Executive Committee of the professional
association, as the members may decide. Each member shall have such power
to cast such vote or votes at the meeting of the members as the articles of
association shall provide. The officers of the professional association may
employ such agents or employees of the association as they may deem
advisable. The officers of the association shall include a President, Vice
President, Secretary, Treasurer, and such other officers as the Board of
Directors or Executive Committee may determine. Any one person may serve in
more than one office provided that the President and the Secretary of the
professional association shall not be the same person.
