Can a President of an HOA Board who owns a business, do personal business with a contractor hired by the HOA?
Our HOA President owns a graphics business and our lawn service provider pays the president to do all of his signs, business cards, truck lettering, etc. The president has given a 2 year contract to the lawn service provider even though there have been complaints about the service.

There is no law prohibiting an HOA board member or president from performing work for the HOA. This could be a violation of HOA rules govering the board, but that would be the only restriction, if it exists. Review those rules to see if there is any restriction or prohibition.
