QUESTION: A recall petition was circulated against the existing board. Before the date of the recall there was an annual meeting and a new board with new directors was elected. The leaders of the recall insist their petition is still valid against the new board.

ANSWER: The recall petition is no longer valid; it became moot with the election of a new board. The old board that petitioners sought to remove is no longer in existence. If they want to recall the new board, they need to circulate a new petition.
