Start here
Leave the next
team ready.
The next officer shouldn't have to piece the job together from old messages. List upcoming events, decisions still waiting, money questions and people who need a reply. For each one, note where things stand, what happens next and who can explain it. Check that the new team can find the records and get account access through the proper process. Walk through one current task together, then agree who they can ask for help after you leave.
