chairpersonship
Presiding officer role
Chairpersonship is the position or tenure of a chairperson—the person who presides over a committee, board, or organization.
The term avoids the gendered chairman or chairwoman: She held the chairpersonship of the ethics committee for three years.
The role typically involves leading meetings, setting agendas, and representing the body publicly.
