I echo WizardDr's point.
You mention a "public serving" organisation. Is it a state company or voluntary group?
Is your problem with the vice-chairman getting a job or is it that the Chairman remains in place automatically? I doubt if it's a public service body if that is the case.
In many organisations, the practice is for the vice-Chairman to take over as the next Chairman. Not sure if it's the rules or not. If you are a member, you can object to it and ask that an election takes place.
