As Popper I believe said, democracy is not so much about being able  
to vote for somebody, it is about being able to get rid of somebody.

I think there is no problem with having relatively shorter time  
frames (could be even shorter than 2 years) but allowing board  
members (or officers, for that matter) to stand again in the next  
election. That allows for as much continuity as the electorate is  
willing to stomach ;-)
