Corporate governing bodies
Executive boards are governing bodies that oversee organizations, typically composed of senior leaders or elected officials who make high-level decisions.
In corporations, the executive board sets strategy and policy; in nonprofits or associations, it guides the organization's mission and operations.
Members usually include a chair, treasurer, and secretary: She was elected to the executive board last year.
