Can a new director be elected to fill a vacancy even if the board is not at quorum?

In the context of filling a vacancy on a board, it is important to understand the operational requirements for meetings and decisions. When addressing the election of a new director to fill a vacancy, a majority of the remaining directors can indeed elect a new member even if the board does not have a full quorum.

This means that as long as there is a sufficient number of directors present—those who are already members of the board— they can proceed to make decisions regarding the appointment of a new director, provided they can gather a majority's support among themselves. This provision is often in place to ensure that boards can remain functional and responsive, even when there are unexpected vacancies or when full attendance is not achievable.

In this scenario, the ability for a majority of the remaining directors to vote is crucial. It allows for continuity and governance within the community association, enabling the board to operate effectively without requiring the presence of every member or waiting for an ideal situation to fill important roles.
