## What do you think? Question:

What is the process for transition from one [HOA](https://www.condoassociation.com/CondoAssociation/tabid/83434/Default.aspx) board to another if there aren't enough people to serve on a board? We never have enough people to have an election in our association, so in the past old board members who wanted to stay on the board stayed on the board and any new people willing to serve just asked to be on the board and were granted that request. This year we are being told that that current board members now have to ask to remain on the board in writing with an "intent" form even though it has been put in writing in emails and in minutes of meetings that they want to remain. Because one of our board members didn't officially fill out an intent form prior the deadline for "intents" but has an intent in electronic forms and in the minutes, they now have to ask to rejoin the board and was told that it is the NEW board members that give the permission. Is this correct? I am confused. The statutes say that if less people are willing to serve than there are available spots, then board members are eligible for the board without an election. Can you explain this? It also discusses nominating people for the board. When does this occur? Thank you
