A committee is a body of one or more persons assembled to consider, investigate, or take action on certain matters or subjects. The term committee commonly applies to a relatively small number of persons appointed to give a task more detailed attention than is possible is a body the size of the assembly. Ordinary committees may be of the types “standing” or “special” Standing committees have a continuing existence and do not go out of existence after the completion of a specified task. If the committee is to do more than report its findings or recommendations to the assembly, it may be empowered to act for the society only on specific instructions In the absence of special conditions appointment of committees by the chair is the usually the best method in large assemblies Members of a standing committee are appointed for a term corresponding to that of the officers.
