Once you complete this form <strong>and</strong> Vanguard has it on file, you will no longer need to send us a certified resolution along with each written<br />

transaction request.<br />

This form must be completed by the secretary or other officer in your organization who can certify the names of those authorized to request<br />

transactions or sign checks.<br />

The resolution will remain in effect until you notify Vanguard in writing that it has been revoked <strong>and</strong> we have had a reasonable amount of time to<br />

act on it.<br />
