moves


Explanation:
I think when we talk about people "changing positions" we just say "move." Of course more context never hurts...

agree  Vicky Papaprodromou
43 mins
  -> thanks Vicky
agree  Monica Sandor: I think this could imply the person keeps former functions plus adds new responsibilities; if the person is moving to position of Treasurer and permanent observer from a previous post I would choose "moving to" an new function/post instead
50 mins
  -> thanks, good point, is the guy giving up his old responsibilities?
agree  Marco Borrelli
8 hrs
  -> thanks
neutral  Seger Bonebakker (X): "Changement de statut" means that the person is leaving their old post. Doesn't "taking on new responsibilities" mean the same thing? Otherwise one would say: "taking on ***additional*** responsibilities, no?
