It largely depends on your HOA's bylaws and covenants, state laws, as well as the specific nature of the business relationship.

Generally speaking, it's common for conflict of interest policies to be established to prevent such scenarios, as it could be seen to inhibit the board member or chairperson's ability to act impartially and in the best interests of the association. However, in the absence of an explicit restriction, it might technically be allowed given proper disclosure and avoidance of participating in decisions directly related to the contracted business.

At Daisy, we've seen instances where board members have businesses that the association contracts with. Disclosure and abstaining from decisions related to their business are generally practiced to maintain transparency. However, every association is different, and consulting a legal professional well-versed in HOA laws might be your best course of action to ensure that you're getting the most accurate advice for your specific situation.

If the member has a business relationship with the HOA, then a conflict of interest would be raised by that member being on the board in any position.
