Norwich City shareholders have given their approval for Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Attanasio to join the board.
And he will now become a director of Norwich, subject to English Football League approval.
Majority shareholders Delia Smith and Michael Wynn-Jones both attended Monday's meeting at Carrow Road.
Attanasio attended Norwich's final game of last season - a 5-0 defeat by Tottenham - after relegation from the Premier League had already been confirmed.
He is also a part-owner of American Hockey League side Milwaukee Admirals.
