An incorporated management association must have a director.
管理組合法人には、理事を置かなければならない。
If there are multiple directors, an incorporated management association's administrative affairs are decided by the majority of the directors, unless otherwise provided for in the bylaws.
理事が数人ある場合において、規約に別段の定めがないときは、管理組合法人の事務は、理事の過半数で決する。
The director acts as the representative of the incorporated management association.
理事は、管理組合法人を代表する。
If there are multiple directors, each director acts as a representative of the incorporated management association.
理事が数人あるときは、各自管理組合法人を代表する。
The provisions of the preceding paragraph do not preclude an incorporated management association from designating a director to act as the incorporated management association's representative or from providing for multiple directors to jointly act as the incorporated management association's representatives in its bylaws or by resolution at a meeting, or from specifying that the director who is to act as the incorporated management association's representative is to be chosen by the election of a director by and from among the directors themselves under the provisions of the bylaws.
The director's term of office is to be two years; provided, however, that if the bylaws specify a different period of no longer than three years, that period is to be the director's term of office.
理事の任期は、二年とする。ただし、規約で三年以内において別段の期間を定めたときは、その期間とする。
If there is a vacancy in the office of a director, or a shortfall in the number of directors as specified in the bylaws, a director who has retired due to expiration of their term of office or has resigned from their office is to perform the duties of a director until a newly appointed director (including a provisional director referred to in Article 49-4, paragraph (1)) assumes office.
理事が欠けた場合又は規約で定めた理事の員数が欠けた場合には、任期の満了又は辞任により退任した理事は、新たに選任された理事（第四十九条の四第一項の仮理事を含む。）が就任するまで、なおその職務を行う。
The provisions of Article 25 apply mutatis mutandis to a director.
第二十五条の規定は、理事に準用する。
