Can the board of directors be related?

The IRS wants to ensure the control of the non-profit consists of people from the public. According to the IRS, related directors, or those with common business interests (i.e., they own a business together), cannot make a disinterested vote.

Even if related directors are unpaid, the IRS may still ask the non-profit to revise the board to people who are unrelated.
