What is the minimum requirement for the number of Board of Directors members in a Hawaii condominium with more than one hundred units?

In Hawaii, the law stipulates that a condominium association with more than one hundred units must have a Board of Directors comprised of at least nine members. This requirement ensures that the Board is large enough to represent the interests of the diverse and larger membership of the condominium community. Having a larger Board can facilitate better decision-making through a broader range of perspectives and experiences.

Smaller Boards, such as those with five or seven members, may struggle to adequately represent the interests of all unit owners in a larger complex, which is why the minimum number is set at nine for properties that exceed one hundred units. This helps to foster a more inclusive and effective governance structure within the condominium association.
