The president-elect shall serve as a member of the Executive Committee, shall present a budget for the ensuing year to the Executive Committee, and succeed to the office of president following the term as president-elect.

A vacancy in the office of president-elect shall be filled by a special election called by the Executive Committee.

The Treasurer shall serve two (2) years and shall supervise the receipt of all funds and, under the direction of the Executive Committee, be responsible for all disbursements of funds of the Association; serve as an ex-officio member of the committee on investments; give bond, the amount of which shall be determined by the Executive Committee; make the annual report as treasurer; and perform such other duties as directed by the Executive Committee.

A vacancy occurring in the office of treasurer shall be filled by the unsuccessful candidate for that office in the most recent election. If there was more than one unsuccessful candidate for that office consenting to serve if elected, the vacancy will be filled by a special election, which may be by preferential balloting.
