How many Directors must a Corporation have?

Every corporation must have at least one (1) director. There is no fixed maximum as to the number of directors that a private corporation must have at any given time. Nevertheless, the number of directors that a corporation decides to have must be indicated in its Articles of Incorporation by either specifying an exact number or a variable number (i.e., a minimum and a maximum) of directors.
