committee leadership
Group steering body
Committee leadership refers to the people who direct and manage a committee's work—typically a chair, vice chair, and ranking members.
In legislative contexts, committee leadership controls agendas, schedules hearings, and shapes which bills advance: Committee leadership blocked the amendment from reaching the floor.
The term also describes the skills or role of leading a committee effectively.
