Chairman
A chairman ( English chairman , English chair for short ; French président ) is a person who heads a collegial body .
General
The word chairman is linguistically the noun agentis of chair , the function of chairman. His official title can also be, for example, President , General Manager or First Director . The word chairman first appeared in 1777 with Justus Gottlieb Rabener . While the question of the chairmanship does not arise in the case of the individual body , the collegiate body elects the chairman of the collegial body either from its members or another body . For example, the supervisory board of a German stock corporation elects a chairman and at least one deputy from among its members in accordance with Section 107 (1 ) AktG , because the supervisory board consists of at least three members ( Section 95 AktG).
tasks
The chairman is usually not a superior or superior of the other members of the collegial body. It regulates the administrative tasks , conducts negotiations , coordinates the agenda , conducts time management , leads polls by and announce decisions . The chairman of the supervisory board, for example, calls the meeting in accordance with Section 110 (1) AktG. Minutes of the meetings is a transcript to customize, the chairman shall sign ( § 107 para. 2 AktG). If the supervisory board appoints several people as members of the management board, the chairman of the supervisory board can appoint one member to be chairman of the management board ( Section 84 (2) AktG). He is the chairman of the general meeting . That is why the chairman of the supervisory board has a special position: he can only perform most of his duties with the other members of the supervisory board (he is a collegiate body), and he acts as an individual body in leading the general meeting. In companies with codetermination , the supervisory board elects a chairman and a deputy from among its members ( Section 27 (1) MitbestG ). The chairman of the board represents the board of directors as a collegial body, he is the leader of board meetings and coordinator of board work, but does not have to be the board spokesman at the same time.
