Yes, directors can be shareholders.

In most small businesses, in fact, the directors are almost always shareholders.

In larger companies, directors' compensation often includes stock or stock options so even individuals who did not own stock in the corporation at the time they were first elected as directors become shareholders over time through their purchase of stock or exercise of their stock options.
