The board of directors may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of two or more of the directors of the bank, which to the extent provided by resolution or in the articles or bylaws shall have the powers of the board of directors in the management of the business and affairs of the bank. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be stated in the articles or bylaws or as may be determined, from time to time, by the board of directors. Any vacancy occurring in any committee shall be filled by the board of directors, but the chairman may designate another director to serve on the committee pending action by the board. Each such committee shall hold office during the term of the board constituting it unless otherwise ordered by the board. The designation or delegation of authority to any committee shall not relieve the directors of any responsibility otherwise imposed on them by law.
