boardroom

German
Persian
Russian
Spanish

A boardroom is a special room where important business decisions are made by the leaders of a company.

You might not think about it often, but most people who work in offices have probably been in a boardroom at some point. When someone says "I'm going to a meeting," they might be going into a conference room or even just a regular office, but if they say "I'm going to the boardroom," you know it's something big. It's where the high-level people in charge make important decisions about the company, like whether to start new projects or invest in new technologies. Some companies have fancy boardrooms with big tables and windows that look out over the city, while others might just have a regular room with a whiteboard on the wall. Either way, it's where the business leaders go to discuss and decide what's best for the company.
