Read your governing documents to determine who is eligible to occupy a director's post on the board. Generally, this is limited to owners, and employees are specifically banned from becoming a director.
If directors are owners, then yes, directors pay assessments.
It depends on the specific rules and regulations of the Homeowners Association. In some cases, non-owners may be eligible to serve on the board of directors if they meet certain criteria, such as being a family member or representing a business that owns property within the association. However, in most cases, the board of directors is composed of homeowners within the association.
In our little corner of the world we define/clarify a homeowner as the owner of record on the deed. So, yes, in our neck of the woods, you would have to actually be listed on the deed to be considered the "homeowner" that is eligible to be on the board, if our governing documents restricted directors to association members. If you are not listed on the deed, you are not a member of our association, even though you may be married to the person listed on the title/deed. If you're name isn't on there with him/her, then you are not a qualified owner/member of the association. However, our directors are not required to be association homeowners/members, so a spouse of a member could run for our board of directors.

Review the documents you signed when you purchased your home. If your home is within an association boundary, you, too, are responsible for the maintenance, preservation and protection of all the real estate assets that the association owners own in common. This is a legal obligation. You are automatically a member in this case. The association is not a club; membership is not optional. Best practices dictate that you contact your board of directors or your managing agent, and inform them of your mailing address, your date of purchase and inform them that you are expecting to pay your assessments as a new member of the community. It's unfortunate that your association hasn't yet welcomed you into the community otherwise, and at least informed you of your assessment obligation.
It depends on whether the member is a member of the board, or a member of the association. If, for example, the developer is the board president and has appointed a member of the board who serves at the pleasure of the developer, the developer may indeed be able to dismiss such a member. Your governing documents detail whether or not this is possible and the process by which it is completed. If a board member has been elected by the members/ owners, then no: the President board member may not dismiss another board member. Board members can only be recalled by a vote of owners. On the other hand, if owners are members and not members of the board, then, no: all owners are members of the association until their property is sold to another buyer. They cannot be dismissed by anyone. Your governing documents are clear, and if they are silent, your state law governing associations is clear about the rights of boards and their responsibilities and authorities, depending on the status of the association. As well, if the association is a corporation, state law governing that type of corporation may apply.
Board member would be correct, as in someone who sits on a board of directors or board of management etc.
He was a member of the board of directors of the New York Stock Exchange and the Trilateral Commission and a director of the United Nations Association.
This is a delicate issue with both legality and ethics playing crucial roles. In most instances, it's not typically recommended for a board member of an HOA to also be a paid employee of the same association. This is primarily due to potential conflicts of interest that could arise. However, the specific answer to your question can be dependent on your Associationโs governing documents. Often, your HOA's Bylaws or Declaration, in accordance with state laws, will specify whether a board member can concurrently be a paid employee. So it's worth looking into your association's rules first. At Daisy, our best practice advice would always be to keep the roles of employee and board member separate when possible. This helps to maintain transparency and avoid conflicts of interest in decisions that affect the community. It's all part of how we aim to ensure the best management and satisfaction of the building community.
An ex-officio member can vote. The word ex-officio simply means that the person is a member of a committe or board because of their position, i.e., president but has nothing to do with that person's right to vote on the committee (for which they are rightfully a member).
