I Advisory Committee Setup (new) – Kalnitz
An advisory committee is a collection of individuals who bring unique knowledge
and skills which augment the knowledge and skills of the formal board of directors
in order to more effectively guide the organization. The advisory committee does
not have formal authority to govern the organization, that is, the advisory
committee cannot issue directives which must be followed. Rather, the advisory
committee serves to make recommendations and/or provide key information and
materials to the board of directors.
