(B) Unless the governing principles provide otherwise, the following apply:

(1) All officers, as between themselves and the association, shall respectively have the authority and perform the duties that are determined by the persons authorized to elect or appoint them.

(2) Any officer may be removed, with or without cause, by the persons authorized to elect or appoint the officer without prejudice to the contract rights of that officer. The election or appointment of an officer for a given term, or a general provision in the governing principles with respect to term of office, shall not be considered to create contract rights.

(3) The persons authorized to elect or appoint officers may fill any vacancy in any office occurring for whatever reason.
