chair

Read a random definition: virtute officii

A quick definition of chair:

A chair is a person who leads a meeting and sits in a special seat called the chair. They are in charge of making sure everyone follows the rules and can be called by different names like chairman, chairwoman, or chairperson. Sometimes, a chair is chosen by someone else instead of being elected by the group. If the regular chair is not there, someone else can be chosen to be the chair for that time, but their job ends when the regular chair comes back.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A chair is a person who presides over a meeting or organization. They are responsible for maintaining order and ensuring that everyone follows the rules. The term can also refer to the seat or station where the chair sits.

Examples:

  • The chair called the meeting to order and introduced the first speaker.
  • She took the chair and began the proceedings.
  • The treasurer reports directly to the chair of the organization.

The first example illustrates how the chair is the presiding officer who starts the meeting and introduces speakers. The second example shows how someone can "take the chair" and become the presiding officer. The third example demonstrates how the chair is the head of the organization and oversees important functions like finances.

Overall, the chair plays a crucial role in ensuring that meetings and organizations run smoothly and efficiently.
