party executive
The governing body of a political party, responsible for the party's strategic direction, organization, and external representation. The members of the executive are usually elected by the party members.
Der Parteivorstand hat auf seiner letzten Sitzung über das Wahlprogramm beraten.
The party executive discussed the election platform at its last meeting.
This word is made up of 'Partei' (party) and 'Vorstand' (executive board/management board). A 'Vorstand' is the governing body of an organization, so the 'Parteivorstand' (party executive) is the leadership of a party.
Jede große politische Partei hat einen eigenen Parteivorstand.
Every major political party has its own party executive.
Since this is a committee or governing body, it is often combined with verbs that describe decisions and deliberations. Typical phrases are: 'der Parteivorstand tagt' (the party executive meets), 'beschließt' (decides), 'berät' (discusses/deliberates), or 'kommt zusammen' (comes together/meets).
Der Parteivorstand tagt morgen, um die aktuelle Lage zu besprechen.
The party executive is meeting tomorrow to discuss the current situation.
Although the executive consists of several people, the word is usually treated as a single unit. The verb therefore normally appears in the singular.
Der Parteivorstand hat den Vorschlag einstimmig angenommen.
The party executive unanimously accepted the proposal.
board
'der Vorstand' and 'der Parteivorstand' both refer to a governing body. 'der Vorstand' is general and can occur in a company, association, or organization. 'der Parteivorstand' is a specific kind of board: it leads a political party and makes decisions about the party’s organization, strategy, and public image. The words can be confused because a 'Parteivorstand' is also a kind of 'Vorstand'. If it is not clear which organization is meant, 'Vorstand' is neutral. If the context is politics and a party, 'Parteivorstand' is more precise.
Vor der Wahl stellt der Parteivorstand sein neues Programm vor.
Before the election, the party executive presents its new platform.
Morgen bespricht der Vorstand die Kosten für das neue Vereinsfest.
Tomorrow the board will discuss the costs for the new club festival.
