reappointment
Given position again
Reappointment is the act of appointing someone again to a position they previously held, or the state of being so appointed.
It typically occurs when a term expires and the person is selected to continue: The board voted unanimously for her reappointment as chair.
Reappointment often implies satisfactory prior performance, though it may also reflect institutional continuity or political considerations rather than merit alone.
