Immediate past president

1. He/she has NO role, unless your bylaws or governing documents designate a role

2. With no role, he/she would not be on the agenda (other than to say "Hello, Pat" to him/her]

3. There are many reasons (often cited here) who a role for a "past president" is not a good idea. [Much like defining a role/position in your current marriage/family for an ex-spouse.]

What is the role of the immediate past president? Where should the immediate past president be listed on the agenda if at all?

The only role is whatever is listed in your bylaws.

If the immediate past president is an officer according to your bylaws, then his report would occur during the section designated for officers' reports, in the order in which they are listed in the bylaws.

RONR doesn't define a role for that position.

You may be using an agenda incorrectly, or at least unnecessarily. See RONR (11th ed.), p. 353, for the Standard Order of Business, which is all that most organizations will need.
