She doesn’t have a choice, and has a year to get the cards in order before a new Chair arrives. Needs to show that person that everything is under control, the stats are certainly not in her favour for any new board/chair renewal to hold the same CEO.
Any new chair who arrives late next year, to a still cluster&@!$ of a company will clear the deck for her, including herself, out the door.
