These committees may be standing committees (formed as part of the board’s permanent structure) or ad hoc (that is, formed on a temporary basis to address a pressing issue). Standing committees may address such issues as the budget; fundraising; public relations/marketing; strategic planning; community outreach; and board recruitment and development. Ad hoc committees might deal with the hiring or firing of a new Chief Executive Officer; the feasibility of finding a new building or implementing a new service; or any number of concerns that might be brought to the board by the community and/or agency that it serves.
