So, it is time to change signatories after electing new officers and some other changes that came up.I was required by the bank to produce photocopies of valid ID's of the new signatories,accomplish forms,submit a notarized Secretary's Certificate and a notarized Resolution about these changes.
It should take just a few days to produce all of these.Before,the bank used to provide a copy of the Sec Cert that you can just fill-out with your information but now they say we have to make our own.Photocopying came first, then I had to make the Secretary's Cert so I tried to find some format online.I found some with the key words "Secretary's Cert format banks" on Google search.It showed many formats from various banks so I tried to customize it so here goes:
