Bus/Financial - Law (general)
Portuguese term or phrase: orgãos sociais
In the context of a professional association, would this be 'governing bodies', 'Society bodies', 'committees'?
'Committees' seems to be the most common term in professional bodies in the UK, but then how to differentiate from 'Conselho'?

orgão social
Member Body of the Association


Explanation:
social: welfare, corporate or partnership.

Here they might be 'associative bodies'. It would be odd if there were more than one Governing Body, namely Conselho.

Example sentence(s):
  • GENERAL BODY: a. Formation: The General Body of the Association shall be supreme body of the Association.
