Board refusing resignation

I’m part of very small association (only 4 homes). After verbally resigning as president over 2 years ago, a board member stated that they never accepted or filed my resignation. I reminded the board of my resignation via email today since I'm under the impression that a resignation does not have to be accepted to be effective.

Thank you for your advise

Slavery no longer is allowed.

However, resignations are generally required to be in writing with an effective date.

At this point: MAIL a written resignation effective immediately to your HOA's registered agent AND the president of the Board via certified mail, return receipt.

Post and publish copies as you see fit to the membership.

Remember:

If it ain't in writing (as in the minutes if verbal at a BOD meeting), it does not exist.

Hmm not sure about that but by some of his posts I bet he drinks a good pint.

I've done some funny ones myself. Years ago I once typed up a report for my boss, a college dean. Every time the word participants was used in the report I typed partipants. I am showing my age but it was before spell check. LOL

In Florida, resignation of Directors would likely be covered under corporate laws, FL 617, the Florida Not For Profit Corporation Act.. This would be applicable if your Association is incorporated as a non-profit (most are, but check to be sure).

Per 617.0807 Resignation of directors:

(2) A resignation is effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice specifies a later effective date.

My suggestion is to reference your earlier resignation and cite this statute.

or COURSE it could be delivered verbally

as in 'I quit' or 'I quit effective now'

however

how could one prove it was delivered ?

either written or verbal, proof of delivery is the crux

when the resignation was NOT recorded in the minutes then certified mail return receipt requested comes into play
