Thank you for the replies. Our bylaws state that the board can appoint someone to fill a vacancy UNTIL the next AGM. The board does not have the power to elect - just appoint. Historically, after a president quit, the temporary or acting president could choose to run at the AGM and after that term of being president, would become past president. So yes , our agency would see him as the acting or temporary president - not president elect. Hope that makes sense. As an aside, how do you flag someone in a reply?

At our last AGM the board was elected as per usual procedure. Part way into the term, the president resigned and the VP moved into the president position. Shortly thereafter, that person also resigned and another board member (not a VP) moved into the role of acting president for a period of about 4 months. Our AGM is coming up and we are wondering if the person who acted in the position of president for 4 months (it is typically a 2 year term) will move into the position of past president? I could not any mention of this in Robert's Rules of Order. Thanks.
