I didn’t say non-residents shouldn’t be on the EC – this is what I suggested:
I would forbid non-resident owners from serving as office-bearers on the executive committee.
I take office-bearers to mean chair, secretary or treasurer and I think it’s important to keep those posts in-house.
I’m not hard-line on the length of service of people as office-bearers – you would lose a lot of talent by limiting terms but it does force change and gives others a chance to learn the ropes.
Perhaps extending terms by special resolution after say five years would be a compromise. I know a lot of buildings suffer from rusted-on office-bearers that no one knows how to shift.
