Board of Governors
Ruling oversight committee
A board of governors is a governing body that oversees an institution—a university, hospital, central bank, or broadcasting organization.
Members are typically appointed rather than elected, serving fixed terms to provide continuity and insulation from political pressure.
The Board of Governors sets monetary policy for the Federal Reserve System.
In American English, often capitalized when referring to a specific body.
