Hi,

Did you correctly use the singular verb here? Is that allowed because one person assumes the both positions?

... the chairman and managing director gives the presentation.

In your opinion, why the sentce below is valid in that 'the' can be shared eventhough the positions 'president' and 'managing director' are assumed by different people; whereas the above situation doesn't allow for a shared article? (Is this question correctly written with a semicolon??)

The presentation was given by the president and managing director.
