It has been our experience that the current President usually has a very good idea of whom they would "hand pick" for the position if they could. They know whats involved and they have an idea of who can handle it. Usually the person in mind is already the President elect/VP for that same reason, but there is always that one person, you get a glimpse of what they can really do, and they just need to be approached. Perhaps someone who has been present at most meetings and has held a board position could tackle the challenge. Asking your departing VP whom they think would be a good candidate might be a good first step. Good Luck

Our President elect resigned last summer so our VP took over as president. SHe has done a great job. We have just been informed that our VP/president elect for next year will not be returning to our school next year. Instead of making another VP become president immediately.(our office runs for 3 years, VP, President and past President), we would like to have our current President stay on another year and just elect a VP for next year, has anyone else had this happen, or have any ideas and suggestions. THanks!
