advisory committee
Guidance-giving group
An advisory committee is a group assembled to provide guidance, recommendations, or expert input on a particular matter.
Unlike governing boards, advisory committees typically lack decision-making authority—they advise, but others decide: The mayor appointed an advisory committee on housing.
Such committees appear in government, academia, and corporate settings, often bringing together specialists or stakeholders.
