Board of directors can terminate the presidentBy Mark Bogen, Special to the Sun-Sentinel Posted March 5 2006

Q: I am a board member of a condominium. Of the five directors at our condominium, four do not like the president of the association. After we elected him as president, he went from a nice, easygoing guy to a dictator. Now the four directors want to get rid of him and appoint a new president. When we told the president what we intended to do, he claimed that he cannot be removed by the board. He claims that the unit owners are the only ones that can remove him. I read our governing documents and the only reference that discusses removal has to do with the removal of a director. Is the president correct?
A: No, the president of the association is not correct. The board of directors can hire or fire any officer by majority vote of the directors. If your board has a properly called meeting and the majority of directors agrees to terminate the president, then he or she is terminated. No unit owner vote is necessary. The board can then vote to elect a new president.
