The Chair

The Chair refers to a leadership position in legislative bodies, such as a parliamentary committee or a board. The Chair’s main responsibilities include presiding over meetings, ensuring orderly discussions, guiding the group’s agenda, and facilitating decision-making processes. They often represent the committee or group to other entities and maintain fairness, encouraging participation from all members. While the Chair has authority, their role is also to serve the members and foster collaboration to achieve common goals. This position is essential for effective governance and organizational functioning.
