: If some enterprising person would like to look up the Illinois
: statutes governing Boards of Directors of non-profit organizations and
: send reference to that to bodissue at ucimc.org that would be great.

I am not a lawyer, but it would appear the governing state law is at
Illinois Compiled Statutes Chapter 805, section 105: the Illinois General
Not for Profit Corporation Act of 1986...

The Board of Directors is covered specifically in Article 8:
