FALSE
She was on the Board of Directors, meaning she was a major shareholder/owner of the corporation.
The rules by which corporations govern themselves are called "bylaws." Bylaws outline the internal management structure, operational procedures, and responsibilities of the corporation's board of directors and officers. They serve as a framework for decision-making, shareholder meetings, and other corporate governance matters. Additionally, bylaws must comply with state laws and the corporation's articles of incorporation.
Yes, it is ethical for a person on an organization's board of directors to also be a shareholder of that organization. In most small corporations, all of the directors are also shareholders. The directors, under corporate law, are managing the organization on behalf of the shareholders (and sometimes other stake holders). Who is in a better position to represent the interests of the shareholders other than a shareholder?

No. A stockholder would need to convince the board of directors to vote to take such an action as a corporation. On the other hand, a number of shareholders can sue the board of directors for not taking prudent steps to protect the business and assets of the company.
The top governing body of a corporation is typically its board of directors. This board is responsible for overseeing the company's management, making strategic decisions, and ensuring compliance with laws and regulations. The directors are elected by shareholders and represent their interests, aiming to enhance shareholder value while balancing the needs of other stakeholders. The board appoints executive officers, such as the CEO, who handle the day-to-day operations of the corporation.
This depends on the relevant type of commercial or business entity. In a corporation, the board of directors appoints or approves a system for appointing the chief executive officer. It is possible to have shareholder agreements that dictate the process for appointing a president or chief executive officer. These are determined in the corporation's articles of incorporation and bylaws. Standard shareholder meetings have as one of their objectives the election of a board of directors, which, in turn, appoint management, including the president or chief executive officer. Management can but need not own and vote shares in the corporation, in which instance management can have a voice in the composition of the corporation's board of directors, and thus indirectly in their own position and disposition. There are significant exceptions as to management and director acts and omissions that constitute conflicts of interest arising in the fiduciary duties of directors and management as to the corporations, in both State statute and the common law. In a limited liability company, the title of "president" or "chief executive officer" is determined in provisions of the member agreement among members and between the members and the LLC. It is also possible for the members of a LLC to informally appoint a president or chief executive officer, who needs not be a member of the LLC. Similar agreements can operate for the various types of partnerships. LLCs and corporations and non-profit corporations can be members in LLCs and partners in partnerships, and thus corporations law and LLC law can affect the operation and existence of these entities. The provisions of LLC member agreements and partnership agreements can and do explicate fiduciary and other duties and responsibilites accruing to LLC management and potentially leading to liability for acts and omissions on the part of management of LLCs and of LLC members. In addition, significantly, there are both common law and statutes that specify these rights and obligations, even where member agreements, shareholder agreements, partnership agreements, etc. are silent. Non-profit entities are subject to specific State statutes and the nature of these vary from State to State. Usually, non-profits have members (distinguish from LLC members) and non-profits can hold assets and have liabilities, but do not issue shares, as for-profit corporations do. Non-profits also have internal mechanisms that dictate the appointment of management.
The president (as in most cases the CEO) is chosen by the board of directors, a group elected by a vote of the corporation's stockholders. Note: In small corporations, it is the incorporator, (the person that filled in the paperwork and paid the fee, seeing that they own all the stock
In public corporations, ownership is dispersed among shareholders who own shares of the company's stock. Shareholders elect a board of directors to oversee the corporation on their behalf. Ultimately, the shareholders have ownership rights, but they delegate decision-making to the board of directors.
