A good while ago, I posted about my new Bossie (she started with us in mid-December last year). Now new Bossie is on the move after only four months and I am awaiting yet another new Bossie.
It was difficult at first with new Bossie, but recently she put forward proposals which would give me promotion (I work with the Chief Executive anyway, but this promotion would mean a real step up the corporate ladder). My even-newer Bossie is currently one of the directors. She will be Acting CEO for the next 12 months. Well, it seems that my promotion is on hold and even my current post is uncertain because she "hasn't decided what support she needs". I've really worked very hard in the past few months to prove that I am able to take on more responsibilities and status. All that is just being removed from me without consultation or discussion. The new (Acting) CEO is "happy for (me) to do the work" but as for recognition and acknowledgement - why would I want that?

What an awful way to be treated! Talk about pulling the rug from under you.
I hope they get their act together pronto and start realising what this does for morale - not just yours, but the others at your company who see the ****** way they treat people! I find it amazing that they can't see what a poor way this is of handling their staff.
I hope they get their act together soon.

What about asking her to create a temporary post for six months or a year (with provision you get your old job back, of course)? You could meet with her and explain the work that you do that is your job and then what all the extra stuff is and say that you would like to continue doing it for her. That way, she'll know what it is you actually do.

You have my utmost sympathy. I have been through this but with a twisst. I know how unsettling it can be to have it happen not once but twice in a matter of months.
I would suggest that you do talk to your new boss with a list of your 'ordinary' duties and your 'extraordinary' duties. I would also add a list of what other duties / skills you could put 'at her disposal'. Remember she doesn't necessarily know you from Eve and might not appreciate everything you do do for the post of CEO (the sort of thing that most directors assume get done by the tooth fairy or appear because they have clicked their heels together . . .
Also make a file note of everything discussed and hand it to her for signing off as a true and accurate statement. Then send it and the list to your HR department. Get it on record. Then at least if she doesn't appreciate what a good team member/worker/asset you are there may be other directors who would be only too willing to help you up the greasy pole, even if it does mean a sideways move to start with.
Just my thoughts. Hope this helps.
