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.
