DIRECTOR QUALIFICATIONS

Qualifications for serving on the board of directors are found in the bylaws and sometimes in the CC&Rs. Most original sets of documents do not require an qualification for serving on the board--not even membership in the association. This is so the developer can appoint people to the board until such time as the the property is sold and owners assume control. As a result, anyone, including tenants, can serve on the board.

Common Qualifications. Candidate qualifications that many associations add to their bylaws include: (i) membership in the association, (ii) being in good standing, (iii) not being in litigation with the association, (iv) not a convicted felon, (v) realtor restrictions, and so on.
