President is a title held by many leaders of organizations, companies, trade unions, universities, and countries. Currently most companies use the term [[CEO]] instead of President for the heads of their companies. Originally, the term referred to the presiding officer of a ceremony or meeting (i.e. chairman); but today it most commonly refers to an official with executive powers. | President is a title held by many leaders of organizations, companies, trade unions, universities, and countries.
