We currently have 9 Board members. Pres., Treasurer & Secretary and 6 Directors at Large after our Annual Meeting. The Treasurer now wants to be Vice President. Is this allowed after voting was done at Annual Meeting and how is that done?

Read your documents. The board members elect the officer positions amongst themselves.

They elected the Board members at our Annual Meeting as I said. This is after everyone was elected.

The board generally elects the officers, and can vote to change officers at any time.

Perfectly OK. Officer roles often change as board members come and go, or just want to do something different.

Grace,

Corporate statutes do defer to the governing documents on how Officers are elected/appointed.
Had your documents been silent, then the Board would have appointed them.

Per corporate statutes, specifically 617.0842, the board may appoint someone to the office once a resignation is submitted.

My suggestion:

Each person who wants to change positions submits a letter of resignation in writing.
The Board, at the next meeting or via action without meeting (ideally at the next meeting), appoints those individuals into different officer positions (or anyone else the board believes should fill the positions).

Please quote what your bylaws say about the selection/election/appointment of officers. As others noted, usually a HOA's bylaws say the board (not the owners) selects the officers. But this forum has seen exceptions to this.

Please remember that officers and directors are not the same thing. Per bylaws, Owners typically elect directors at an an annual meeting of owners. Not so for officers.

Is this a condominium?
