Executive Committee

An Executive Committee is a small group of leaders within an organization, typically senior managers or board members, responsible for making important decisions and overseeing operations between full meetings. They act as a decision-making body, handling strategic planning, policy approval, and urgent issues, ensuring the organization runs smoothly. This committee helps streamline leadership functions, providing quick guidance while maintaining oversight. Despite their authority, they usually operate within policies set by the larger governing body or board, and their actions are subject to review and accountability to the full organization or board of directors.
