Unfortunately, the new Kudoz rules prohibit the pasting of links to google search pages. However, if you search for "member of the executive" (use double quotes) you will find that 40% of hits are followed by ‘board’, 40% by ‘committee’. The rest contain alternatives such as ‘team’ or no noun at all! This may be an option if you’re not sure whether to use ‘committee’ or ‘board’: ‘Member of the Executive’.
