advisory committees
Expert recommendation groups
Advisory committees are groups formed to provide guidance, recommendations, or expertise to an organization, government body, or decision-maker.
They typically lack binding authority—their role is to advise, not to decide: The mayor appointed an advisory committee on housing.
Members often include specialists, stakeholders, or community representatives whose input shapes policy without directly setting it.
