Joshua Katz Posted November 8, 2023 at 09:23 PM Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 at 09:23 PM You'll have to interpret your own bylaws, but as a matter of common sense, it seems to me that a president who is on a leave of absence, and has not departed the position, is not a past president at all.

There is certainly no rule to that effect in RONR. I concur with the response by Mr. Katz. Unless you have a bylaw to the contrary, the president still holds the position of president unless he has submitted a resignation which has been accepted. That is not the same thing as a leave of absence. BTW, the concept of taking a “leave of absence“ is not even mentioned in RONR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If he resigns, he is then the immediate past president. If not, he is still president. RONR has no provision for leaves of absence, so this process would have to be found in your bylaws.
