OFFICER / DIRECTOR APPOINTMENT RESOLUTION TEMPLATE FAQ
What is an officer or director appointment resolution?
An Officer / Director Appointment Resolution is a written record showing that a corporation’s board of directors (or shareholders, when required) approved appointing a new director or officer. It provides an official paper trail for governance, banks, regulators, and internal records.
Who appoints directors and officers?
Typically, shareholders elect directors, and the board appoints corporate officers (like CEO, CFO, Secretary). However, the company’s bylaws and local corporate law control the process. This template can be used for board actions (officer appointment) or shareholder actions (director election) by adjusting the “authority” section.
What should be included in the resolution?
Include: corporation name, date, meeting or written consent, the role being filled, the appointee’s name, the effective date, term (if any), and authority to sign filings or update records. This template includes optional acceptance and conflict-of-interest disclosures.
Does the appointee have to sign?
Not always, but an acknowledgment can be useful. This template includes an optional acceptance section.
