Text

That the board of directors shall choose a president and a secretary-and-treasurer. The president shall be chosen from the members of the board, shall preside at all meetings of the board and act as the executive officer thereof. He shall sign all warrants for the payment of money and all deeds and other instruments of writing requiring the corporate seal.

The secretary-and-treasurer shall give bond to the state of New Mexico in such sum as the board of trustees shall require, the same to be conditioned for the faithful performance of the duties of his office. It shall be his duty to keep a record of the proceedings of the board, which record shall be open to public inspection at all reasonable hours, to attest all warrants for the payment of money and all deeds and other instruments of writing requiring the signature of the president. He shall be the custodian of all funds, moneys and papers belonging to the board of trustees. No compensation shall be voted at any time to any trustee or to any officer thereof, save the secretary-and-treasurer.
