Of course, any one can. I'm pretty sure of it.

Any owner -- with their name on the title to a residence -- can be voted onto the board of an association, regardless of their occupation or other volunteer work.
In the situation where there could be a conflict of interest, however, the board member is well advised to recuse himself or herself from a vote.
For example, if the HOA is petitioning the City Council for improvements to a geography owned by or in service to the HOA, the council member on the board would probably abstain from voting in one place or the other.

Can the board president dismiss a member?
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.

Can a paid employee of a non profit Home Owners Association be a member of the board of directors?
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.
In a Homeowners Association can non-owners be on the board of directors?
Sometimes a non-owner -- usually not a tenant -- can be hired as a member of the board, under the corporate guidelines that govern the association under state law. For example: a non-profit corporation's board composition. The percentage of membership on the board that fits into this category could be limited -- for example, to less than 50% -- again by state law. Your association attorney can help you clarify this possibility and counsel you as to its advantages, limitations or restrictions.
Can a member of an association- suing the association- run for the BOD of that association in Florida?
Read your governing documents to determine whether or not the status of an owner as a plaintiff in a suit against the association remains qualified to run for the board. Often, professionals encourage owners who are dissatisfied with the performance of their board to run for election. You may also query association counsel for a formal legal opinion, if you believe that one is in order.

Can home owners association board exempt themselves from new rule they created?
No. The association board members, presumed to be owners in the association, are governed by the CC&Rs, the By-laws and the rules the same way all owners are governed. Often, sadly, board members choose to ignore these agreements that they make with all other owners, especially when they are elected by members. Read your governing documents to determine how to gather owners to collaborate with each other to document rules violations by board members and keep that documentation in board meeting minutes. Sheding light on these issues, sometimes is curative.

Can an ex officio member vote on a Board of Directors?
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).

Can someone be on the board of the home-owners association if they do NOT even live in the complex?
Generally board members own units. Rarely, especially during the early years of an association, the developer may include board members who are not owners or residents. Read your governing documents to determine board membership criteria. It is rare that an HOA will elect a non-owner to its board, although it is not unheard of.
How to sell a condo when association is delinquent?
You don't describe how your 'association is delinquent', so it's difficult to answer your question precisely. However, if the board is in violation of the governing documents, non-board member owners must gather to remedy the situation, potentially by electing a new board. The 'new' board needs the advice of counsel to determine how to recover from the actions or inactions of the delinquent association. Once a remedy is in place, selling your unit should be easier, since the issues have been identified and the new board is working toward a resolution. If there is no action on the part of owners to rectify association delinquencies, then selling your unit must include disclosing the issues to any potential buyer.
