advisory board
Expert consultation panel
An advisory board is a group assembled to provide guidance and recommendations to an organization, executive, or project.
Unlike a board of directors, an advisory board typically has no formal authority or fiduciary responsibility—members offer expertise and perspective without governing power: The startup formed an advisory board of industry veterans.
Also called an advisory committee or advisory council.
