Bundesfachbereichsvorstand

English translation: (federal) sector [sectoral] executive board

Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / Trade unions
German term or phrase: Bundesfachbereichsvorstand
In a trade union context - the Bundesfachbereichsvorstand seems to be a body of ver.di. The closest I can get through research is "Federal Executive Board" but this does not convey the specific Fachbereich-nature of the board.
Does anyone know what this would be called in English?
Thanks!

English translation:(federal) sector [sectoral] executive board
Explanation:
See http://www.verdi.de/ueber-uns/organisation/ co 2ab3bae6-b9... for the organisational structure of ver.di, which includes 13 departments/sectors. Contrary to Darin, I believe that the German term refers to the entire body, rather than to individual members - see, for example, http://gesundheit-soziales.verdi.de/ueber-uns/bundesfachbere...

  -> No, the plural ('sectors') wouldn't work here because there is a 'Bundesfachbereichsvorstand' for each of these trades/sectors/industries.
agree  Adrian MM. (X): ... and even: sectorial.

  -> ... although I'd prefer 'sectoral'.
