Condo Board Member Quites
A condo board member who always complained that he doesn't want to be on the board quite one day at a board meeting and walked out. Several weeks later, the president said he talked him into coming back onto the board. Shouldn't there have been an election instead to get a new board member? The member who came back on the board told me that the president kept bugging him to rejoin. Is this allowed? Is the member who was talked back onto the board a real board member or should he be considered to be not a member unless there is another vote.

Re: Condo Board Member Quites
I'd have to see your association docs and do a bit of research to directly answer these questions. But with many organizations, resignations have to accepted by the board to be official. So maybe if he rejoined in that interim period before the board accepted the resignation in the first place, he can come back. As an aside, why does he continue to be a board member if he doesn't want to? It seems to me he wants to be a board member or he wouldn't be one.
