Thus the "old" president would continue to preside, avoiding that change-over of personnel in the middle of the meeting. As an example, take a look at the sample bylaws in RONR on page 567, noting "Section 3" on Ballot Election, Term of Office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
