Yes, of course. You might want to provide some more details to get some more information

From the statute:

"Member" means a person who becomes a member of the limited liability company upon formation of the company or in the manner and at the time provided in the operating agreement or, if the operating agreement does not so provide, in the manner and at the time provided in this Act.

and recursively:

"Person" means an individual, partnership, domestic or foreign limited partnership, limited liability company or foreign limited liability company, trust, estate, association, corporation, governmental body, or other juridical being.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response, there's not too many more details at this point, we're very early on. Can you point to a resource that outlines this? I've been pouring over the Sec of State docs and can't seem to find a reference. – strimp099 Aug 6 '12 at 2:53
You may want to take a look at the statute: ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/… – littleadv Aug 6 '12 at 2:58
