If a president of a club/society resigns, does he/she still have a right to the ex officio title?

You would need to refer to the society's articles of incorporation to find this information.0

There is no mention of a resigning committee member, just that the leaving president shall be ex officio for 12 months on the committee0 -

Then it is down to how that clause is interpreted - "leaving" to my mind covers resignation as well as end of term, but others may disagree.
Would anybody object to them using the title, does it bring any privilege with it?0 -

it gives them voting rights on the committee quorum as there is only 2 committee members left, plus ex officio0 -

Is anybody objecting to this? If they are, the matter would need to be referred to the governing body/ regional committee. If no such body exists the issue could be taken to court, but the time and cost involved in doing so would be disproportionate to the aim.0 -
