running for the board

I thought I read somewhere in the Florida HOA statute (homes not condo) that if you had been previously removed from a board (any board), you could no longer run for a board HOA position.

I have gone back though all my files and cannot find the reference.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Thanks

I agree with Kerry that it's unlikely. Directors serve at the pleasure of the homeowners and can be recalled with or without cause. You can't draw any conclusions without knowing a lot about what happened behind the scenes.

Examples:

* An incompetent or corrupt director is recalled (good).

* A board that is fighting against homeowners who want assessments kept as low as possible, regardless of the true cost of maintaining the property, and is replaced by a board who does what the owners want (bad).

* A director gets sideways with a bunch of owners who just don't like his face (may be good or bad depending on circumstances).

So... a recalled director can be a good person who was in a bad situation or a real stinker. It would be foolish to toss out the good ones just to get rid of the stinkers, since most HOAs and COAs don't have a lot of people clamoring to serve on the board. Convicted felons are a different matter.
