Each year, without fail, I get a complaint from someone that says a particular unit owner should not be allowed to run for a seat on the board because they only live in the condominium or HOA half the year. I tell them time and again that as long as they otherwise meet the criteria (no prior felony conviction where civil rights have not been restored for at least five years or being delinquent in assessments) the snowbird has the right to run. It gets a lot of people mad. They think that someone who lives in the community half the year, cannot possibly be a good board member because they cannot physically attend a board meeting. With the invention of ZOOM, physical presence at the board meeting clearly isn’t necessary.
