It depends on the rules and bylaws of the specific home-owners association. Some associations may allow non-residents to serve on the board, while others may require board members to be residents of the complex. It is best to check the association's governing documents to determine the eligibility criteria for board membership.

Generally board members own units. Rarely, especially during the early years of an association, the developer may include board members who are not owners or residents.

Read your governing documents to determine board membership criteria.

It is rare that an HOA will elect a non-owner to its board, although it is not unheard of.
