Along with providing for the directors and officers of the corporation, it can be helpful to specifically provide for the methods of management and operation of the corporation. The shareholders" agreement can provide that certain shareholders will be responsible for certain activities, whether they be sales activities, financial and accounting activities, or operational activities.
