He plays a role that we might call "president" in that organization and that could very happily be represented by an instance of the org:Membership class. If the name of the Class is a barrier then it would be easy for you, in specializing the ontology, to create a new Class for the relationship which better suits the terminology of your application and make that a sub-class or equivalent-class of org:Membership.
