<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">board members</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for directors that I've seen before include "Businessmen" , "they lead the way" , "who make cuts" , "Board members" , "Those managing" .)
