I assume your translation is for Spain, where "consejero" is "director" or "member of the board (of directors)". But just "for info", Thomas West in his "Spanish-English Dictionary of Law and Business" offers the following observation:

board of directors:

= "consejo de administración" in Spain, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico

= "directorio" in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Perú and Uruguay

= "junta directiva" in Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua

Igualmente, es sí o sí un miembro del Directorio, sea presidente o no, así que para mí, "miembro del Directorio", puede funcionar.
