I am so glad I am not you. That said, here is what I hope will write out the way it is in my head.
As hard as it is for me to say (because God knows I had to do it too many times this last year), I would suggest taking what can only be described as a higher than the high road. Offer to share the rest of this year with the incoming Officers from the other school. It may be a bit confusing at first, with a Co-President, Co-Vice President, Co-Secretary (I don't think I would go Co-Treasurer until they commit to putting the rest of their funds into your funds therefore creating Our Funds), but it may well go a long way to making these incoming folks welcome. I'm not sure I could do it, but it just seems to me that it is the 'fair' way, so that the incoming Officers are familiar with your agenda. It will also go a long way with the membership of both schools, as these 'new' folks are going to cause a scene if they don't get a shot at the elections and then no matter what you do, you won't be able to make everyone happy. I'm pretty sure that is what I meant...lol...
Like I said, I'm not sure I could do it, but it seems to me, that if I was the other school's President, I'd sure appreciate the gesture. I also know that even if they don't agree to do it that way (or some similar way), that it will show YOUR membership, as well as THEIR membership, who is the right person(s) for the job.
Good :confused: Luck!
