§ 1702.08.

(A) When an unincorporated society or association, organized for any of the purposes

for which a corporation could be formed under this chapter, authorizes the incorporation

of that society or association, by the same procedure and affirmative vote of its

voting members that the regulations, constitution, or other fundamental agreement

of the society or association requires for an amendment to that fundamental agreement

or, if no such vote is specified, by a majority vote of the voting members present

in person, by the use of authorized communications equipment, by mail, or, if permitted,

by proxy, at a duly convened meeting the purpose of which is stated in the notice

of the meeting, then upon the filing of the articles under section 1702.04 of the Revised Code setting forth those facts and that the required vote has been obtained, that society

or association shall become a corporation, and the members of the society or association

shall become members of that corporation in accordance with provisions in the articles

to that effect. (B) All the rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises, and authority, and all

the property and obligations of that unincorporated society or association, shall

thereupon pass to, vest in, and (in the case of liabilities and obligations) be obligations

of the corporation so formed.
