If as James states, no one wanted the job, and he were to resign, you would HAVE TO ADDRESS IT.

If Jerry wanted the job I would certainly nominate him with NO LACK OF A SECOND I'm sure. And in a special election he would run unopposed, in which case the cost of an election in the best financial interest of the club SHOULD BE forgone if unopposed and Jerry appointed if he's the only one running or interested.

Do we look for solutions or problems and excuses?
