*leave it out*
Phrases like this tend to introduce a change of subject in Spanish, and simply aren't used in English in the equivalent type of discourse. Putting anything at all in, whether it is the literal "for their part", or even Mirta's nice "furthermore", will give the text a translated flavour.
Peer comment(s):

Lila Castillo
: In general terms I would agree, phrases such as this do give texts a translated flavor, but the decision of leaving it out depends on the context. Perhaps the previous phrase makes it necessary to point out the Directors' stand with regard to others.

Quite true. (But I'd bet chances are that this is not the case.)

Never too late for a word of agreement. Avoiding "the third language" (http://tinyurl.com/5v89v) should be a constant goal.
