The directors may be elected for terms of up to three years. The length of the mandate of the directors can be set out in the by-laws. If no term is stated, directors hold office until the next meeting of shareholders. Directors need not all be elected at the same time or for the same length of time. A director whose term has expired can be re-elected as a director.
Persons who have been nominated as directors, and who are present at the shareholders’ meeting are deemed to have consented to serve as directors, unless they refuse.However, if they are not present at the meeting, they must either 1h) consent to their election,in writing, within 10 days of their election, or 2) act as a director after the election.
Also, a director’s term ends when he or she:
resigns;
dies; or
is disqualified/removed by the shareholders. If a vacancy occurs, the members of the board of directors may continue to exercise all the powers of directors as long as the number of remaining elected directors constitutes a quorum (the minimum number of directors required at a meeting, as specified in your corporation’s by-laws).
It is also possible for the remaining directors to name one or more additional directors between shareholder meetings unless the Articles of Incorporation stipulate that vacancies can only be filled following a vote by shareholders.
Shareholders may remove a director they had previously elected, for a variety of reasons.Removing a director is a simple procedure that generally requires the approval of a majority of votes represented at a meeting of shareholders called for the purpose of removing the director
