Robert's Rules makes no recommendation on this matter and leaves it to the society's judgment whether to establish term limits for board members. If the society wishes to establish term limits, such a rule must be in the bylaws.

In the Sample Bylaws [at 56:62], we find: Section 4. Office-Holding Limitations. No member shall hold more than one office at a time, and no member shall be eligible to serve three consecutive terms in the same office. However it would not be correct to call this a policy recommendation. Rather it is more of an example of well-written language for societies that may wish to implement such policies.
