[Organizers] Non-clique members in sensitive board positions.

It's annual election time, and a new dancer is answering the call to help the organization. The individual in question is someone known to a Board member and has "has served with other groups as funds manager/ treasurer type positions". Using her talents, she has volunteered to lend them to the organization as Treasurer. This has sparked a battle among (1) we need to amend the by-laws so this can't happen, (2) we need to mentor new people into leadership, (3) we need to just vote at the general election and see what happens. A supporter of (1) claims that "that's what other clubs do". So without asking for the entire contra nation to take sides, let me ask you organizers: what would your club do/what does your club do to contend with or avoid situations such as this?
