Tennessee Code Title 48. Corporations and Associations § 48-239-103

(a) GENERAL. Unless fixed terms (including staggered terms) are provided for in the articles or operating agreement, a governor serves for an indefinite term that expires at the next regular meeting of the members. A fixed term of a governor must not exceed three (3) years. A governor holds office for the term for which the governor was elected and until a successor is elected and has qualified, or until the earlier death, resignation, removal, or disqualification of the governor.

(b) DECREASE IN NUMBER. A decrease in the number of governors does not shorten an incumbent governor's term.

(c) VACANCY TERM. The term of a governor elected to fill a vacancy expires at the next members' meeting at which governors are elected.
