This construction covers events in which someone gains a new job, function, or role. As indicated in the role's definition, the Role role can either refer to the actual position, or more generally to a group that the Appointee is made to join (e.g. a committee, council, board, assembly, etc.); in the latter case, the Appointee's new role is simply understood to be member of that group, and the exact nature of the role can often be inferred from the nature of the group. The availability of either type of Role largely depends on the verb. For instance, 'recruit' is restricted to groups, whereas 'promote' primarily occurs with functions.
