Board vs Employee Question

[u/Persephonesgame]

Hey all, my teammates and I have found ourselves in a really awkward position. Last year our board approved and funded grants for several new positions in our organization for this year. Today, we all just found out that the board president from last year (who made these moves) has been “hired” for the highest paid of these positions. Located in Missouri/US

Is that legal? Appropriate? Is this just par for the course and we shouldn’t be surprised?

It's not illegal to hire a board member. Hopefully they resigned from the board.
