HOA Board Member Proxies
Owners in a homeowner association are allowed to give a proxy for an owners meeting to someone else to vote on their behalf. Members of a board of directors sometimes try to provide a proxy to another to appear and vote for them at a board meeting. The concept of a board member proxy raises a number of issues. First, may a board member give a proxy to someone to vote in his place? Second, if a board member does give a proxy, what are the possible ramifications and liabilities? Third, if a board member cannot give a proxy, may he give a power of attorney instead?
