A committee is a type of small deliberative assembly that is usually subordinate to another, larger deliberative assembly. Committees often serve several different functions:
- Governance: in organizations too large for all the members to participate in decisions affecting the organization as a whole, a committee (such as a Board of Directors) is given the power to make decisions. A committee of this type is a form of a deliberative assembly.
- Coordination: individuals from different parts of an organization (for example, all senior vice presidents) might meet regular to discuss developments in their areas, review projects that cut across organizational boundaries, talk about future options, etc. Where there is a large committee, it's common to have smaller committees with more specialized functions - for example, Boards of Directors of large corporations typically have an (ongoing) audit committee, finance committee, compensation committee, etc. Large academic conferences are usually organized by a co-ordinating committee drawn from the relevant professional body.
As cage fighting's popularity grows, Tapout label no longer battles for recognition
Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0700
L.A.-based trio's clothing line taps into mixed martial arts craze. THIRTY-SEVEN seconds after the opening bell, the "cage fighting" match between Brock "the Brainerd Brawler" Larson and Carlos Prater was over. A flurry of punches had left Prater motionless on the mat, his head lolling to one side and a trickle of blood escaping from the right corner of his mouth. Larson took a victory lap around the chain-link enclosure, smiling and pumping his fists to the cheers of the crowd.
Shirley MacLaine gets into spirit as Coco Chanel
Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0700
The Academy Award-winning actress sinks her teeth into the role of the legendary designer but these days, she's happy in sweats. IF SHIRLEY MACLAINE and Coco Chanel fought over a parking spot, pearls would roll. "She was tough and she never backed down," says the Academy Award-winning actress, who's known for her own flammable personality and eccentric philosophy. The Parisian style icon died in 1971 at age 87. MacLaine, 74, plays her to the hilt in the Lifetime movie "Coco Chanel," airing Saturday.
Sarah Palin's style: the issue at hand
Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0700
Until time reveals more of the Alaska governor's substance, we can't help but study the Republican VP nominee's style. WHAT TO do about the war, what to do about the economy, what to do about those rimless glasses and that saucy updo? Style has never been more important than it is in this election. That's not just because this high-stakes political contest is being watched by a tabloid and celebrity-obsessed culture. It's also because this election now has so many powerful women on the national stage who are putting their message across with vastly different style strategies.
