A president and vice president will be selected from among 35 members of a board. Should permutations or combinations be used when determining the number of possible ways these offices can be filled?

The two offices have different roles, so who is president and who is vice president matters. For example, switching two selected members between the offices creates a different outcome. Therefore, use permutations because a president is different from a vice president.
