According to RONR, an elected individual takes office immediately upon completion of the election. If a later date is to apply, that must be prescribed in your rules.

Yes, I'm referring to the "meeting" only, since our original poster was quoting classes of business in a meeting (even though there is no such thing as "old business").

Whatever your bylaws tell you about this, that is your answer.
