Of course, any one can. I'm pretty sure of it.
Another Answer
Any owner -- with their name on the title to a residence -- can be voted onto the board of an association, regardless of their occupation or other volunteer work.
In the situation where there could be a conflict of interest, however, the board member is well advised to recuse himself or herself from a vote.
For example, if the HOA is petitioning the City Council for improvements to a geography owned by or in service to the HOA, the council member on the board would probably abstain from voting in one place or the other.

Yes, it is possible for a city council member to also serve on a homeowners association (HOA) board. However, whether it is allowed or not depends on the specific laws and regulations of the city or municipality, as well as the bylaws of the HOA. Some jurisdictions may have conflict of interest rules or restrictions that prohibit elected officials from serving on HOA boards.

Can the board president dismiss a member?
It depends on whether the member is a member of the board, or a member of the association. If, for example, the developer is the board president and has appointed a member of the board who serves at the pleasure of the developer, the developer may indeed be able to dismiss such a member. Your governing documents detail whether or not this is possible and the process by which it is completed. If a board member has been elected by the members/ owners, then no: the President board member may not dismiss another board member. Board members can only be recalled by a vote of owners. On the other hand, if owners are members and not members of the board, then, no: all owners are members of the association until their property is sold to another buyer. They cannot be dismissed by anyone. Your governing documents are clear, and if they are silent, your state law governing associations is clear about the rights of boards and their responsibilities and authorities, depending on the status of the association. As well, if the association is a corporation, state law governing that type of corporation may apply.

No. The association board members, presumed to be owners in the association, are governed by the CC&Rs, the By-laws and the rules the same way all owners are governed.

Read your governing documents to determine how to gather owners to collaborate with each other to document rules violations by board members and keep that documentation in board meeting minutes.

How to sell a condo when association is delinquent?
You don't describe how your 'association is delinquent', so it's difficult to answer your question precisely. However, if the board is in violation of the governing documents, non-board member owners must gather to remedy the situation, potentially by electing a new board. The 'new' board needs the advice of counsel to determine how to recover from the actions or inactions of the delinquent association. Once a remedy is in place, selling your unit should be easier, since the issues have been identified and the new board is working toward a resolution. If there is no action on the part of owners to rectify association delinquencies, then selling your unit must include disclosing the issues to any potential buyer.
