Many non-profit organisations include in the constitution of their 
management committees, a position for the last previous 
president/chairman, as an ex-officio role, mainly for counsel, I think, 
to advise the replacement president/chairman. I think (but am not sure) 
that the outgoing president/chairman position has no vote on the 
committee, but is there mainly for advising the incumbent and the 
committee.
