I’m invited to a gala dinner hosted by our mayor for the mayor and some council members of our twinned town in the UK. As I will have some talk to both the British mayor and the council members, what are the correct terms to respectfully address them in their ranks and functions?
“Mayor” and “Councillor” work, or sir and mam. Assuming you’re speaking to them publicly in a council meeting, you want to keep it formal. If it’s more one to one then it could be a little more relaxed.
Thanks!
