HISTORICAL TRIVIA:
In the late 1700’s, many houses consisted of a large room with only one chair.  Commonly, a long wide board folded down from the wall, and was used for dining.  The “head of the household” always sat in the chair, while everyone ate sitting on the floor.
Occasionally a guest, usually a man, would be invited to sit in this chair during a meal.  To sit in the chair meant you were important and in charge.  They called the one sitting in the chair the “chair man.”
Today in business, we use the expression or title Chairman or Chairman of the Board.
PS – Thank heaven the rest of the board doesn’t have to sit on the ground. We’d have some pretty crabby boards…
