HOAleader.com - Tip of the
Week - January 27, 2023
In this week's tip, we answer an HOAleader.com reader's question: If their board is five members but their bylaws say they can have 3 to 9 members, can they expand their board with appointments, or must they have
elections?
There's a little more to the answer that you might think.
Click on the arrow below to hear a short clip in which two HOAleader.com experts—Kelly Richardson, CCAL, a partner at Richardson, Ober in Pasadena, Calif., whose firm represents hundreds of HOAs throughout California and who has been a syndicated columnist on HOA issues for 17 years, and Robert E. Ducharme, founder of Ducharme Law in Stratham, N.H., who specializes in representing community
associations—discuss whether this board needs to go through the rigamarole of an election or can take the quicker and much easier route of making appointments.
