Definition
主席 (zhǔxí) is the general term for the chairperson or head of a committee, organization, or meeting. It differs from 总统 (zǒngtǒng, president of a country) and 总裁 (zǒngcái, president/CEO of a company), which are specific to national or corporate leadership. 总理 (zǒnglǐ) refers to a premier or prime minister, a government role distinct from a committee chair.
