These committees are called ad hoc committees and they may meet for just a few months to accomplish their specific purpose and then they are disband when the objective or task is completed. These tasks may include the following:

  • Special Event Committee: This temporary committee will coordinate the board’s assignments for a particular event or project, such as a talent show, fundraising dinner, etc.
  • Planning Committee: This temporary committee will lead a strategic planning venture that is led by the board and may consist of board members.
  • Special Issue Committee: This temporary committee will be formed to address and investigate any unusual problems or opportunities that may arise, which may include negative publicity.
