It entitles board member to meet with mobster (10)
I believe the answer is:
knighthood
'it entitles board member' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'meet with mobster' is the wordplay.
'meet with' becomes 'knight' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'mobster' becomes 'hood' (I've seen this in another clue).
'knight'+'hood'='KNIGHTHOOD'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for knighthood that I've seen before include "Title" , "Order of chivalry" , "High honour" , "bishop's neighbour" .)
