(1) I assume a charter (or something) similar is required for a new BOD. (2) Can anyone point me in the direction to find info ? (3) I need by TOMORROW ! (4) YIKES ! (5) Thanks TJ

Tressa - you need to see the legal documents creating the corporation, and by-laws outlining the rules for the Board.

Whoever did the legal work to put your banks under one charter (that's what they did, right?) should be able to help you with that. Most likely the by-laws for the 'surviving charter' - the one who's TR and charter number you'll continue using - will be the one that rules and you won't need a new one. Nor will you need a new board of directors. If management wants to change the makeup of the board, they'll need by-law and/or shareholder authority to do so.

Thanks for the info, but what is meant by TR?

Sorry - transit routing number (or routing and transit number).

You need bylaws and articles of association. If you are an OCC Bank there are boilerplated standards you have to use. They are both in the Comptrollers Corporate Manual in the Corporate Organization booklet. You can find them on e-files

Thanks !
