Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
Dutch term or phrase: college van bestuur
I need a translation for this term which is not 'board of management' because I am using this term to translate 'raad van bestuur', which is used in the same document. The body concerned is in a hospital and is called 'college van bestuur/raad van bestuur'

Thank you in advance for any suggestions
