There are so many types of committees that there isn't just one answer. If you are talking about a principal campaign committee for a candidate for elected office in Minnesota the answer is yes. Actually you only need one person. The candidate can serve as chair AND treasurer of his/her committee. In MN its the treasurer position that is important as the committee cannot accept money if it doesn't have a treasurer (you may have a few days to fill a vacancy, but I'm not positive on that) and the treasurer is responsible for filing reports.
The rules even vary slightly for candidates for state office and candidates for other office, say city council, county commissioner or school board. The Hennepin County Elections office is where reports are filed and rules available for city offices (I think school board also, but not sure on that one) For state offices its the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board. Now if you are talking a committee for a candidate for federal office of a fund that advocates for issues or candidates in MN the answers will again change. Your best bet is to go to the office where you file for the office you want to seek or support people that seed and ask for their information sheets. For state offices most of the info is available on the web. Hennepin County doesn't do as well for city offices, the controlling state law is on the state's web site.
