Election and term of office
The President-elect shall succeed to the office of President upon the expiration of the President’s term, or if the office of President becomes vacant, in which case the President-elect shall become President and shall complete the unexpired term and continue to serve as President the following year.

Time and travel commitment
Travel is a significant part of the President-elect’s duties, shared in part with other members of the board to meet AIA’s needs. The President-elect has an account to cover the costs of representing AIA outside of the board and other AIA meeting commitments. 

The President-elect should expect to spend a minimum of five (5) to seven (7) hours per week in support of the requirements of this position; that commitment will be greater during times of preparation for and attendance at board meetings, conferences, and other AIA events. AIA recognizes and appreciates the amount of time and travel the President-elect dedicates during their leadership years. In recognition of the volunteer hours donated to AIA, a stipend will be paid on a quarterly basis. (The President-elect will receive an IRS Form 1099 for this stipend.) This stipend is offered in addition to the travel reimbursement policies outlined above.
