Nominating Committee
A nominating committee is a group formed usually from inside the membership of an organization for the purpose of nominating candidates for office within the organization.
It works similarly to an electoral college, the main difference being that the available candidates, either nominated or "written in" outside of the committee's choices, are then voted into office by all of the members.
The system is a part of governance methods often employed by corporate bodies, business entities, and social and sporting groups - especially clubs.
The intention is that they be made up of qualified and knowledgeable people representing the best interests of the membership.
