Yes, thanks Charles. Replaced by who?

Well, I wasn't absolutely sure going by the header. So I read the article and now I'm sure.

Genuine question ( to avoid confusion) could someone clarify for me the distinct roles of Chairperson v President please?
Have long wondered if President was like Managing Director in US talk (as per commerce), but then there is still a CEO which for an organisation of that modest size wouldn't be required to need both.
