Can members of an association petition to remove a board member less than 60 days before the new election?
We have a corrupt president who wanted to
gain a quorum and change officers on the
board. He had the management company send
out a resignation letter to all board members.
The president then gained a quorum to change
officers and is now shining out to directors on
the board by saying any decisions topics
discussions will be discussed and officers will
get back to the directors.

It is entirely up to what the bylaws governing the association say. The law does not specify how or when board members are elected or removed; that is determined by the rules and documents governing this community and the homeowner's or condo, etc. association. If unsure how to interpret those documents, bring them to a real estate attorney to review with you.
