Trips need to be organised for the head of state (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

president

'the head of state' is the definition.
(president is a type of head of state)

'trips need to be organised' is the wordplay.
'to be organised' is an anagram indicator.
'trips'+'need'='tripsneed'
'tripsneed' anagrammed gives 'PRESIDENT'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for president that I've seen before include "top job" , "Head of a republic - or a club" , "The elected head of a republic" , "The chief executive of a republic" , "the boss" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
