Founding President
Explanation:
While Founder and President is correct, I find this to be a more eloquent option, and one that is commonly used.

Please see the examples and links.

Ex: "As the founding President of IPBA, I firmly believe that all the members of this organization should remember and respect the original purpose and cause for which IPBA was launched in 1991."
