2 chair
Gen Mgtthe most senior executive in an organization. The chair of an organization is responsible for running the annual meeting, and meetings of the board of directors. He or she may be a figurehead, appointed for prestige or power, and may have no role in the day-to-day running of the organization. Sometimes the roles of chair and chief executive are combined, and the chair then has more control over daily operations; sometimes the chair is a retired chief executive. In the United States, the person who performs this function is often called a president. Historically, the term chairman was more common. The terms chairwoman or chairperson are later developments, although chair is now the most generally acceptable. Chairman, however, remains in common use, especially in the corporate sector. -

Formal meetings are conducted by a chairperson according to an agenda set in advance, and the proceedings are recorded in minutes. Some meetings, such as company board meetings and annual meetings, are a legal requirement, and take place on a regular basis.
