Spanish term

vocalía

Spanish to English Law/Patents
Qué ventajas obtenemos con esta nueva figura jurídica?
Fundamentalmente dos: Estaremos dotados de una Junta directiva en que siempre estará presente el Ayuntamiento a través de una vocalía, obteniendo un importante grado de conexión y vinculación entre Ayuntamiento y Urbanización. La segunda ventaja es aún más primordial, puesto que obtendremos mayores garantías en el cobro de los recibos que se emitirán a través del Patronato de Recaudación de forma individualizada y no por Comunidades como venía sucediendo, merece la pena recordar que el porcentaje de cobro de cuotas destinadas al “mantenimiento” de nuestra Urbanización no ha llegado ni al 25 %.

appointed member? representative?

Gracias, Verbis.
agree Antonio Castillo González : I think the literal translation would be "board membership"; "board member" would be acceptable, but "a seat (on the Board)" is even better.

spokesperson (s)

Literally, someone who has a voz, so it essentially matches your suggestions. Unfortunately there could be more than one as vocal is a member of a committee (cf. Collins Spanish Dictionary) so vocalía could also be a group (actually more likely given the context)

member of a committee, voting member. Estas son las traducciones que da Alcáraz para 'vocal de un consejo o junta'. Espero que por ahí encuentres algo para 'vocalía'. suerte
