Board of Dignitaries
Explanation:
Hi, Laura!

Well, here it is again! :-) I would say "Board of Dignitaries" because it sounds very formal, and a dignitary is precisely "a person who holds a high rank or position." It makes perfect sense in your context. Hope this helps!

A \"Board of Dignitaries\" would be made up of a group of highly-esteemed, \"notable\" people. The \"high rank or position\" can be social, economic, political, or career related.
