Quick Summary

If you need to resign from an honorary society secretary role due to a hectic work schedule, you generally cannot be forced to continue for your full term. While you should raise your resignation with the Executive/Governing body, if they don't agree, you can call a General Body meeting. In the meeting, state your intention to resign and request a replacement. You can hand over your duties to the president or joint secretary and be relieved without waiting for formal approval.

You raise your problem in the Executive/Governing body. If they do not agree, call for a General Body meeting and in the meeting you tell them that you will resign from the post and request to elect another one.

This is a honorary post hence if the person holding this post expresses his unwillingness to continue with this post citing personal or any other reason, he cannot be forced by anyone including law to continue for the entire tenure.
You can put down your papers and handover your responsibilities to the president or joint secretary and get relieved without waiting for their approval.
