> 'advisory board member' means that they are a board member in an advisory role, aka a nonexec
No, those are not synonyms. Advisory boards are distinct from the board of directors. Advisory board members have roles similar to what you alluded to in your original comment and do not have fiduciary duties, hence my confusion.
Non-exec board members are not involved with day-to-day business operations but their fiduciary duties are no different than exec members.
Language has meaning. Don't insult others for your own clumsy usage.
