The issue with A is that it is illogical to suggest that Joan was a "former chair" for 18 consecutive years.
For example, you would say that you were a teacher for 18 years, but you wouldn't say that you were a former teacher for 18 years.
Hopefully I make sense in the explanation =).
In addition, the sentence also purports that Joan Philkill attended more than 400 meetings as the
former chair. Now you cannot attend a meeting
as the former chair, can you? The suggested meaning is illogical.
