Hi rdeck,
Double check your bylaws to see if there's any language regarding replacing posts vacated. If there are no requirements to bring in a replacement, then do what you and your team think is best. Totally get what you are saying about "saving" a potential replacement. Do you feel ok about moving forward on your own? Just make sure you have the help you need to close out the year.
All the best!
