Guest Hidden Grove HOA Posted April 9, 2011 at 03:58 AM Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 at 03:58 AM Our Homeowners Association had 3 (of 5) Directors resign almost simultaneousley for different reasons. We have advertised for the 3 spots, with no response. Can we conduct any business or convene a meeting since we technically don't have a quorum of the 5 Board spots? Can the two remaining Board Members (President and Secretary) appoint replacement members? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your QUORUM rule?If you can meet your quorum requirement, then your board can act.A resignation of 3 from a board of 5 leaves 2.If your quorum rule allows for a "majority" of board members, then a majority of 2 is 2.So 2 board members who meet (in a properly called meeting) can transact business.

Rev Ed Posted April 9, 2011 at 02:52 PM Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 at 02:52 PM I agree to double check - in some jurisdictions an HOA Board quorum is set at a majority of all positions by statute. Thus 3 out of five members in this HOA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the two remaining Board Members (President and Secretary) appoint replacement members?I'm not familiar with HOAs, but the general rule in RONR land is that resignations must be accepted at a meeting by the body that elected/appointed the members, or the body that has the authority to fill the vacancy. Until then, they are effectively still on the Board. So, have the resignations been accepted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest J. HENDERSON Posted April 11, 2011 at 04:56 PM Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 at 04:56 PM The members of the executive committee of an organization where I am president have poor attendance in order for us to establish a quorum. As our by-laws do not (yet) address attendance of execs or chapter members, what can I do for the short term to get items approved, like our budget?

That way answers to your question won't get all muddled up with those for the original poster. It's most fair to both of you. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I invite you to do so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need two bits of information to determine this. What is the exact language of the quorum rule in your Bylaws (or are they silent on the quorum for the board)? Did the board accept the resignations of the members?Can the two remaining Board Members (President and Secretary) appoint replacement members?Only if the two board members constitute a quorum, which is unclear at this point.
