Dutch term
raad van bestuur
Non-PRO
Dutch to English
Bus/Financial
I would say; "Board of directors" but this company has both a "raad van bestuur" and a board of directors, so there is a difference. Seems that the "raad van bestuur" is taking care of actualy supervising the companies operations

: Boo! When you write to somebody to tell them what a brilliant translator you are, it can be embarrassing if you say "you've got another THING coming", when it should be "you've got another THINK coming"

Board of Trustees
Anonymous, there really is no 'right' answer here. Not even Jarry can be always right, no matter how many Annual Rapports one has translated. All of answers offered here are valid.
