administrative council/board


Explanation:
However, other options exist depending on the context. Dietl/Lorenz:

Verwaltungsrat = supervisory board (of a statutory board or body corporate under public law) (Schweiz = Aufsichtsrat); (VN) executive board; (des Europäischen Patentamtes) Administrative Council

If this is a Swiss company (CH-DE), it is likely that this refers to the supervisory board, which is typically called the \"Aufsichtsrat\" in DE-DE.
