and why?

Answer

i think the second one is correct. "of" means " 's " so you cannot use it twice

Answer

the second one, because "president's" implies ownership, while "presidents" is just plural.

Answer

"A luncheon honoring the past presidents of the association." is correct, since it is referring to plural past presidents.  The apostrophe, on the other hand, is used to indicate the possessive form of a noun.
