Bus/Financial - Management
English term or phrase: Board Chair
Kann mir jemand erklären, was mit "Board Chair" gemeint ist? Erwähnt wird es als Funktion einer Person: "XXX, Board Chair of Greenpeace International".
Gefunden habe ich "Vorstand", aber ich tendiere dazu, die englische Bezeichnung beizubehalten. Trotzdem würde ich natürlich gerne wissen, was damit gemeint ist ...
Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe!
