Board Observer
An individual who is granted the right to attend board meetings and receive board materials but does not have voting power or the fiduciary duties of a full director. Board observer rights are commonly negotiated by investors (especially in venture capital) who want visibility into a company's governance without taking a formal board seat. Observers can participate in discussions but cannot vote on resolutions.
