I would opt for Board to distinguish from the 'districtsraad', which I would translate as 'council' - but that's a personal choice...

Note from asker:
Thank you so much, glad to note the Belgians are also confused! Could it mean District Council?
Board it is then, do you know of any good Flemish-English dictionaries?
Dankjewel, ik heb dit werk pas een paar maanden gedaan, en krijg veel vraag voor Belgisch naar Engels werk, vooral juridisch natuurlijk, maar daarin zijn de taal verschillen met Nederlands enorm(-:
