Again, an individual trustee may have a greater ability to guide and influence the individual or organizations distributions and awards;
Individuals may have a better awareness of changes in circumstances, goals or operations.
In addition, individuals can be changed from time to time. This gives room for good succession processes.
Furthermore, individuals are easily handy and willing to offer help in terms of legal issues and banking matters.

Number of Board Members:

However, to be straightforward in this matter, there must be at least two (2) members. Among these must be the Chairman and the Secretary. The most important members of the board of trustees. Thus, honorary members can always be added.

The point here is that you must be able to appoint the number of board members that are suitable and manageable by the club.
