German term

Entsender

German to English Bus/Financial Management
Die Rolle des Regisseurs übernimmt der Vorsitzende des Aufsichtsrates. Die Studiodirektoren sind die Entsender, die ihre Interessen durchsetzen wollen.

From a text comparing supervisory boards to a film production. Can anyone help me with an elegant way to phrase "Entsender" here, i.e. those who elect the board members.
TIA

those who co-opted them

I think they are nominated directly rather than elected so I would phrase it with "nominate" or "co-opt" - those responsible for co-opting them, perhaps (kind of a patronage system)
