Board service - RLM May 07, 2008


Depends on the Board qualifications (if any) outlined in the By-Laws. Does a Board Member have to be a Shareholder, a resident, or are there any restrictions? Our co-op has no restrictions whatsoever; in others, a BM must be a resident. If the Board Member you ask about lives within the building, it would seem that he is still eligible for Board service.

If a BM in this co-op needs to be a Shareholder, the Board Member in question should consult an attorney.
