Word origin
The term 'chairperson' emerged in the late 1970s as a gender-neutral alternative to 'chairman' or 'chairwoman'. It reflects a growing awareness of gender inclusivity and equality in language usage. By using 'chairperson', organizations aim to promote diversity and inclusiveness in leadership roles.
