A few years ago we had some nurses that came from another facility. They showed us a new way of rinsing back a patient with a closed system.

I have a question which i am sure someone can answer. Our chapter has been in risk of closing for several years. This year is the same. I am wondering how many officers we need to stay a float. I am thinking we need 3. But my question is what if no one wants to be president elect. can we have a president, secretary and treasure and no president elect?? would this work or do we need a president, president elect and then someone to be both secretary/treasure. i think i can get 3 people for sure for next year but i am not sure if we can get 4. and if we get three no one wants to be president elect. what do you all think.
