I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law. I suggest that you send a letter to the board of directors telling them that you are resigning. This will place them on notice of your intent to leave. I also suggest that provide reasons (i.e. personal reasons) so that you are not a target of any sort of investigation regarding misuse of funds or whatever no matter how unlikely you may think that is. cover your ass.
