I am in the same position with you having just been elected to be President for next year. I've met once with the current President (so far) and some of the things she shared with me that I think will be invaluable are: Teachers that are always there for PTO, parents that are always willing to help, things she found that worked and things she found that didn't and why she believes they did or didn't work.
She has been very willing to share anything and everything, and I believe will continue to do so for an easy transition, she will also be our Secretary next year so that may be some motivation for us to work together.
Good luck to you!
- Ms.B
