The Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association is expected to elect a new president next month.
Atikokan Mayor Dennis Brown is now filling the position on an interim basis, but says he'll stay on it no one else wants the job.
"I don't know how it will turn out," says Brown. "If there's nobody wants that wants do it until the annual meeting in April, I'd be prepared to do that."
Brown took over the president's role after Anne Krassilowski was defeated in the mayoral race in Dryden.
