chairperson
The word is "chairman". It is NOT sexist, except in the tiny minds of goofy partisans with an agenda and no knowledge of language. The PC crowd can screw themselves. There is no assumption of sex. Just like "mailman", "repairman", "craftsman", etc., the -man suffix does NOT mean "male". It comes from the Old English word for "one" (as in "one who crafts", or "one who repairs", etc).
