Ms Rickard said it was a big honour and that she was excited for the year ahead.
"I know it's going to be a challenge for me this year as I have a lot to learn, but I'm going to do my best to make it exciting, fun and bring some new things in," she said.
"Hopefully, we will gain new members and help the community too."
She also thanked members for voting for her, the past president for the great job he did over the past year and members who helped her over the years.
Mr Furniss, who enjoyed his time as president and felt it went really quickly, said the most rewarding thing for him was being picked as president in the first place.
He also said his fondest memories were doing the barbecues and raising money for the community.
Des Rowley was named as the first vice president, Rosemary Chapman as secretary and Ken Anderson as treasurer.
