Well, that's sound less whimsical to my mind. Now as it seems Trustee 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trustee> is a word with a precise legal 
definition in common law <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_law>, and 
I don't know if there is any really good transposable term in a civil 
law <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_law_%28legal_system%29> 
terminology. In French, it seems that depending on context you might 
also use "curateur", "fidéicommisaire".

So from a legal point of view, I must admit I don't know what would be 
the most appropriate, but from what I'm accustomed to hear, "Conseil 
d’adminstration" seems the less odd.
