Hi Witkowski-
Here is a fun installation ceremony that I found on an old post by JennR:
"To the Treasurer – I give you this “crunch” bar to represent all those numbers that will pass through your hands.
To the Secretary – I give you this box of “dots” candy to remind you to dot all your I’s and cross all your T’s when taking those monthly board meeting minutes.
To the Parliamentarian/Historian – I give you this “Hershey’s bar” to represent history and longevity. The classic chocolate bar has been around a long time – keep the history alive in this new board like I know you will.
To the Vice President of Membership – I give you these Good & Plenties to represent all the good members you will recruit in the fall. I know the numbers will be plentiful.
To the Vice President of Cultural Arts – I give you this “symphony” bar to represent all the wonderful programs you will bring to our amazing students.
To the Vice President of Fundraising – I give you this “payday” bar cause it’s up to you to raise the funds to accomplish all the goals you will have as a board. I know you can do it.
And lastly, to the President – I give you this “mounds” bar for the mounds of fun you will have and for the mounds of work it will take to lead this group of wonderful people to the next level here at our school.
I thank you for your commitment and I look forward to what the next school year will bring. Thank you! "
Also, here is a link to a ceremony that is geared toward PTAs, so you'd need to adapt it:

If anyone else has any ideas, we'd love to hear what you are doing. If you end up writing something, we'd love to have a ceremony in our file exchange.
