The board of governors must consist of one (1) or more entities which are members or individuals. The number of governors must be fixed by or in the manner provided in the articles or the operating agreement. The number of governors may be increased or, subject to § 48-239-103(b), decreased at any time by amendment to or in the manner provided in the articles or the operating agreement.

(b) SIZE. The articles or operating agreement may establish a variable range for the size of the board of governors by fixing a minimum and maximum number of governors.

Unless the articles or operating agreement specifically provides otherwise, only the members may change the range for the size of the board or change from a fixed to a variable-range size board or vice versa.
