Organisation Chart

[Guy Manning]

Is there one in EA? or can someone recommend a good way of maintaining this?

No.

You could probably fake one up using an Object Diagram (Bob is an instance of the class Vice President) but you'd probably be better off using things like the Org Chart functions in MS Office.

If you are showing the organization units, I like to use Nodes on a Deployment diagram.  

If you are showing the structure of actor roles, I use the use case diagram with generalization/specialization relationships between actors.  

If you are concerned with coordinations and linkages between processes and actors, use class, activity, and sequence diagrams.

That provides good anchors for other diagrams.

I used packages stereotyped as <<org unit>> for higher level than Actors. Some recommend to use a stereotyped class instead as packages can't hold attributes. Depends on what and whom you want to show the chart.

I have tried this several ways and have come to the conclusion that the results could have more easily and effectively been achieved through other tools.  At  the end of the day the results were neither maintainable nor were they of any real use inside the models.
My mistake was trying to use an organisation structure to try to determine the actor model.  It didn't (doesn't) work.
