(805 ILCS 125/1) (from Ch. 32, par. 198)
Sec. 1.
All corporations, associations and
societies organized under or created by any special act of the Legislature
not for pecuniary profit, are hereby vested with power to create boards of
trustees, directors or managers, and to elect and appoint members thereof,
either from their own membership or otherwise, in such manner, at such
times and for such periods as may be provided by the by-laws of such
corporations, associations or societies.
Where the charter of any such corporation requires that the
election of trustees shall have the consent, approval and ratification of
the religious denomination as specified therein, and such denomination
shall have waived and relinquished such power of consent, approval and
ratification of such election by the representatives mentioned in charter,
then said corporation may elect said trustees without such consent,
approval and ratification of said religious denomination; and said board of
trustees, directors or managers shall have such powers and perform such
duties as may be prescribed by the by-laws of such corporation association
or societies: Provided, that whenever any such trustees, directors or
managers shall be elected or appointed, a certificate under the seal of the
corporation, association or society, giving the names of such trustees,
directors or managers, so appointed or elected, and the term of their
office, shall be filed for record in the office of the recorder in
the county or counties where the business of said corporation may be
carried on, by such board of trustees, directors or managers.
