How can I say "the leader(s) of the club" in Japanese


I would like to ask which one of the following two words could be used to
express the word "leader" when I am talking about someone who is the head of a
club or at least the member of its board; for example an anime fun club. When
I checked the dictionary I found these two words with the meaning "leader":

> 始端部`したんぶ` and 引率者`いんそつしゃ`




I'll go ahead and add this as an answer since nobody else has, but basically
you'll be taking whatever kind of gathering it is that you have, using its
kanji and adding 長 to it. So for example if it's some kind of 会 then it'll be
会長. If your group is a 団, like a 劇団 or whatever, you can say 団長. If it's a
school club, like in 部活動, you'll say 部長. Or as pointed out you can also just
say クラブのリーダー.

[alc](http://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=club%20president) suggests the last two.

> club president クラブのリーダー、〔部活動の〕部長

There are other words you can explore, like 担当者, but I think the 長 route is
appropriate given the context.
