A group of licensed radio amateurs has joined together to form a club. The club meets monthly, sponsors classes to license new amateurs, hosts an amateur repeater station and operates at public events. The club has bylaws and is a 501(c)(3) entity. The club has no officers and no dues. As a small group of reasonable people, club members agree on what to do and chip in as needed.
The club would like to obtain a permanent call sign for use at club events. (This in contrast to a "special event" call sign which would have to be obtained on a per-use basis.) The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations state, in part 97.5(b)(2) (emphasis supplied):
A club station license grant. A club station license grant may be held
only by the person who is the license trustee designated by an officer
of the club. The trustee must be a person who holds an
operator/primary station license grant. The club must be composed of
at least four persons and must have a name, a document of
organization, management, and a primary purpose devoted to amateur
service activities consistent with this part.
The club is told by an organization that administers amateur radio licenses for the FCC that the club's "management" must comprise a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. Part 97.5(b)(2) makes no mention of how the management should be structured; reference to "an officer" indicates that a single individual could comprise the management. The club eschews the trappings of a management structure, but would consider investing a single member with the title of president if needed to pass legal muster.
What are the club's options?

As a 501(c)(3) organization you have responsibilities and potential liabilities. More critically than the FCC management issue might be the issue of governance of your tax exempt association - at least to stay with the 503(c)(3) constraints. I assume you have by-laws and a board.Someone must have the power to sign, on behalf of the organization, the required yearly federal forms.
