Qualifications of directors
In plain English: The articles of incorporation or bylaws may set qualifications a person must meet to serve as a director. Unless those documents say so, a director does not have to live in Arizona or even be a member of the association. For homeowners, this means eligibility to sit on the board depends on what the association's own governing documents require.
The articles of incorporation or bylaws may prescribe qualifications for directors. A director need not be a resident of this state or a member of the corporation unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws so prescribe.
