If the articles of incorporation or the bylaws so provide, the board of directors may designate one or more committees each of which shall consist of one or more directors and such additional members as specified in the resolution which such additional members need not be a director or member of the nonprofit corporation, or resident of the state. Such committees, to the extent provided in the articles of incorporation or in the bylaws of the corporation, shall have and exercise the authority or function of the board of directors in the management of the corporation. The designation of such committees and the delegation thereto of authority shall not operate to relieve the board of directors, or any individual director of any responsibility imposed upon it or any individual director by law except those responsibilities related to the authority or function the committee is authorized to exercise. Other committees not having and exercising the authority of the board of directors in the management of the corporation may be designated by a resolution adopted by a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Members of committees created under this section have the same rights of indemnification and immunity as are provided to the board of directors in chapters 47-22 to 47-28 , inclusive, unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws.
