Investopedia explains 'Directorate'

When an individual sits on the board of directors of more than one publicly traded corporation, this situation is called an interlocking directorate. Interlocking directorates are common, but can be problematic and even illegal if that individual belongs to the boards of competing companies. A board member is obliged to act in the best interests of the shareholders of any company he or she represents and must be careful to avoid conflicts of interest.
