Boards with 3 Directors

Many homeowner associations that have only 3 directors are amending their corporate bylaws to increase the number to 5. Some associations with 5 directors are increasing the number to 7. There are several reasons community associations increase the number of board members or directors: (1) A larger number of directors results in a board that more closely represents the majority of the homeowners in the community; (2) When one or more directors are absent from a board meeting, the remaining directors (even if a quorum exists) is more likely to make decisions that reflect the majority of the homeowners, and (3) A larger board tends to make more moderate and less extreme decisions.
