From a series of contracts involving state lotteries
En el caso de los miembros de la mesa de presidencia: contractual y cumplimiento de normativa legal con la IGAE (intervención general del Estado) para la asistencia a mesas de presidencia
and later...
Consentimiento: en el caso de niños y autoridades para sorteos viajeros, acompañantes de niños y terceros cooptados en la mesa de presidencia principalmente para Navidad
In the first example it would seem to be something like a committee, less so in the second case

Presidential Round Table
Seems to works in both instances of a committee and meetings of such cf. mesa de partes in Lat. Am. / Peruvian courts as a 'filing desk' - West - or Registry Office Inwards.
Presidential as an adjective is to dodge the Chairman's vs. Chairwoman's vs. Chair at the Round Table: to quote one late SPA/Am. ENG translator who had been appointed 'Chair of the Bloomsbury Medical Group' in London - I am not a 'chair' but real person.
Also Round Table as two words to avoid the US American spelling of Roundtable and overlap with the weblink.

Example sentence:
Following these events, Mantella announced her plans for the Presidential Roundtable Series entitled, “The Constitution, Elections and Democracy” in an effort to better connect these events to the campus community.

: Maybe... but everything is context dependent and we need to be sure we are talking of a President and not a chairman/person

Agreed, but Chairing of the Board Round Table doesn't have that 'Sir Gallahad and Knights of the Round Table' ring to it.
