Best practices guidelines dictate that candidates complete a nomination form that includes their contact information, previous experience, skills, relevant affiliations and platform. The form also contains details about who submitted the form, its date and a testimonial from the candidate, that if elected, the candidate would serve.
An open panel discussion where owners can question candidates is also a possibility.
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.
Motion Picture Directors Association ended in 1936.
Motion Picture Directors Association was created in 1915.
Some states require that associations be corporations, others do not. The corporate structure provides guidelines for operation of the association's business, and may prove useful. This is especially true when the HOA's assets are in the millions and directors are untrained volunteers otherwise ill-equipped to preserve, protect and maintain millions of dollars worth of assets owned by all owners in common.

National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics was created in 1965.
Are the Board of Directors of a homeowners association prevented from revealing to the homeowners, at the annual homeowners meeting, legal action taken against a homeowner in violation of covenants.
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.
There is no standard. Read your governing documents -- usually the By-Laws, but check the CC&Rs to be thorough -- to read what qualifications are necessary to serve on the board.
