boardrooms
Corporate meeting spaces
Boardrooms are the rooms where a company's board of directors meets to make high-level decisions.
The word often stands for corporate leadership itself: The decision came from the boardroom.
Boardroom discussions concern strategy, executive appointments, and major financial matters.
The singular boardroom can refer to corporate power generally: She fought her way into the boardroom.
