Meeting leaders perhaps misrepresented as rich (6)

I believe the answer is:

chairs

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'meeting leaders' is the definition.
'chairs' can be an answer for 'leaders' (chair is a kind of leader). I am not certain of the 'meeting' bit.

'misrepresented as rich' is the wordplay.
'misrepresented' is an anagram indicator.
'as'+'rich'='asrich'
'asrich' with letters rearranged gives 'CHAIRS'.

'perhaps' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chairs that I've seen before include "rockers?" , "Seats for singles" , "Runs" , "items of furniture" , "Professorships" .)
