New Board of Directors

Ivy, I'm a little confused on just what you are asking but usually the homeowners elect Trustees aka Board Members and the Board Members appoint the officers. The Board Members serve at the pleasure of the homeowners i.e. the H/O can either recall them or not re-elect them. The officers serve at the pleasure of the other Board members i.e. if the president is off the rails power mad, the other Board Members can remove him from that particular office but not the Board. Each Board Member's vote is worth exactly the same, just that some officers have specified duties which allow them to exercise different powers.

Here is how our By-Laws describe the different officers:

He shall preside at all meetings of members of the Association and shall preside at all meetings of the Board of Trustees.
