promotion boards

Career elevation committees

Promotion boards are committees that evaluate candidates for advancement in rank, especially in military and civil service contexts.

The board reviews records, qualifications, and sometimes interviews to determine who merits promotion: She appeared before the promotion board last month.

The term reflects bureaucratic selection processes where advancement isn't automatic but requires formal review and approval.
