One possibility is that "chairwoman" sounds too close to "charwoman", which is a lady who mops the floors!
In answer to your question, as chairperson of the board, you may address yourself as you see fit. Chairman, Chairwoman or Chairperson would all be acceptable. My personal preference is Chairman, as the title was not specifically intended to specify gender. It was intended to specify rank.
If the individual serves only as a member of the Board of Directors then you would simply place their name on the first line, followed by Director immediately underneath their name. James H. Doe Director If the individual serves as Chairman of the board, that means that they are already elected or appointed as a Director and there is no need to repeat that. So, restated, place their name on the first line and either Chairman or Chairman of the Board directly underneath. James H. Doe Chairman (or Chairman of the Board) It will vary between companies as to which term to use. In my case, we allow the individual holding the position to decide if they want to use Chairman, Chairman of the Board. In the event the position is held by a woman, Chairperson/Chairwoman or Board Chair are also acceptable albeit less common. Jane H. Doe Chairwoman (or Board Chair)
Masculine and feminine refer to grammatical gender, and there is no grammatical gender in the English noun. Certain words specifically denote male or female persons, but chairman is not one of them. The -man (pronounced mun) in chairman is the same as the -man in woman. It certainly does not denote a male person.A female chairman is properly addressed as "Madame Chairman." There is a politically correct monstrosity with some currency among the ignorant, "chairwoman," but that word means "a woman who takes care of the chairs." Sometimes "Chair" is used alone, but again that is a genteelism, or a mistake made trying to avoid making a mistake.English used to have grammatical gender, but it had nothing to do with physical gender. The word "wife" was a neuter noun, not a feminine, for example. Grammatical gender is in the form of the word, and not its meaning.
