A minor, as defined in 1 V.S.A. § 173, may not be a voting member of the governing body, the supervisory committee, or any other appointed or elected committee.
(d) An organization having membership in the credit union may be represented and have its vote cast by an officer of the organization or its designated agent so authorized by the organization’s governing body as evidenced by a certified copy of such authorization provided to the credit union before the vote is cast.
