replacing board member

In the bylaws the board can appoint a board member to finish a term of a resigned member. Is the next person in line the most reasonable choice? They were 2 votes away from being elected. Do they have the right to finish out the term which is for 18 months?

In filling a vacancy created by a mid-term election resignation, no one has the "right" to finish out the term, whether they lost the previous election by only a couple votes or were not even nominated. It could just as easily be someone who has become a member only yesterday, assuming no rule that board members must have some length of membership first. As for who is the most reasonable choice, nothing in RONR addresses this. I would expect it to be someone who has an interest in being on the board and to fill the unexpired term.

Edited to correct election => resignation.
