Can HOA owner in foreclosure stay on the association board?

Can a unit owner who is in foreclosure proceedings for their unit, but up to date on monthly assessments, hold a position on the board? This person has been on the HOA board in previous years and feels they have the right to participate again. The current board feels that this person is irresponsible financially (known to have refinanced home several times to live off the equity earned during the boom years, and now purposely not paying mortgage to try and refinance home back to a much lower mortgage rate). This person has made poor decisions on previous boards and has been belligerent and bullying as well. We will have several openings on the HOA board this year with few people willing to fill the vacancies but don't want this person as they are counterproductive. What can we do?
