What is the president's role on the board of directors?

• A. Chair the board of directors.
• B. Vote as a member of the board of directors.
• C. Serve as a member of the board of directors.
• D. Nominate board members.

Answer: (C)

The president's role on the board of directors is to serve as a member of the board. This means the president participates in board discussions, helps guide policy, and votes on matters just like other directors. The chair is a separate position that presides over meetings, so the president isn’t automatically the person who chairs the board. Nominating board members is typically handled by a nominating committee or by the board itself, not by the president as a simple board member. So, the essential idea is that the president serves as a director, contributing to governance as part of the board.
