Certainly, a person who was the president at some point earlier should be considered a past president, and I believe there is support from some of this forum's members that the person who was the president previous to the current president would be considered the immediate past president. Again, that will be for your members to decide.2qB6zG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your rules, of course, may have something to say about it, so be sure to check them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's simply an historical fact (yes, "an"). Which is one reason few here think it's a good idea to grant any automatic status (e.g. a seat on the board) to the immediate (or any other) past president. There's often a good reason he's "past".

Say it both ways and see which one rolls off the tongue.(By the way, I'm a big fan of Paul Brians' site). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
