Sorry, that is incorrect.

    5310.  (a) A corporation may admit persons to membership, as
    provided in its articles or bylaws, or may provide in its articles
    or bylaws that it shall have no members.  In the absence of any
    provision in its articles or bylaws providing for members, a
    corporation shall have no members. 

    (from the california corporations code, in part 2, describing 
    nonprofit public benefit corporations, visible at
