If a corporation has no members or no members entitled to vote an amendment to the articles, the board may amend the articles by majority vote, subject to any approval that may be required pursuant to section 14-3-1030 or 14-3-1041. Members are not entitled to vote on amendments to the articles unless the corporation's articles or bylaws grant them such a right. See section 14-3-610.
