  a.  The board of directors.

  b.  The officer who appointed such officer, unless the bylaws or the board of directors provide otherwise.

  c.  Any other officer if authorized by the bylaws or the board of directors.

  d.  In this section, “appointing officer” means the officer, including any successor to that officer, who appointed the officer resigning or being removed.
