ad hoc committees
Temporary task groups
Ad hoc committees are groups formed to address a specific issue or task, then dissolved once that purpose is fulfilled.
Unlike standing committees with ongoing responsibilities, ad hoc committees exist only temporarily: The board created an ad hoc committee to investigate the complaints.
The Latin *ad hoc* means "for this"—assembled for this particular occasion.
