selection committee
Group picking candidates
A selection committee is a group assembled to evaluate candidates or proposals and choose among them.
Universities convene selection committees to award scholarships or admit students.
Organizations use them to hire executives or grant funding.
The term implies a formal process with multiple reviewers rather than a single decision-maker: The selection committee will announce the finalists next week.
