この会は会長の木村さんを中心にいろいろな活動をしている。


I need to confirm my meaning of the following sentence:

> この会は会長の木村さんを中心にいろいろな活動をしている。

My go:

> If Kimura-san was here in this meeting, then it will be exciting.

Can someone explain what this means?




First, this 会 means _club_ , _group_ or _society_ rather than an individual
_meeting_. Second, there is no word for _if_ in your sentence. Third, いろいろな活動
is _various activities_ , and there is no word for _exciting_ in your
sentence. Fourth, you have [already asked about this Aを中心に
construction](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/90744/5010) (or more
broadly `AをBに`) several times. `AをBに` is a very important pattern and you can
read dozens of questions about it
[here](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/linked/20854?lq=1).
会長の木村さんを中心に is adverbially modifying 活動をしている.

Without this part, the sentence should be easy:

> この会はいろいろな活動をしている。
>
> This group is working on various activities.

And with the Aを中心に part:

> この会は **会長の木村さんを中心に** いろいろな活動をしている。
>
> (literally) This group, **with the chairman Mr. Kimura at its center,** is
> working on various activities.
>
> This group, led by the chairman Mr. Kimura, is working on various
> activities.
