Before Board forms this group, it needs a definition for that group's responsibilities to the organization, as well as what their purview is. What is their job? How much time will they be expected to give? What is the term of their service? Will they have a job description? Will they be held liable for not completing the job as defined by that description? What input, if any, does the membership get to have in the people who are appointed?
Additionally, anyone on the advisory board should resign from their positions in the organization and, while serving on the advisory board, be ineligible for the Board of Directors. They may not be able to properly advise if an issue is one their committee or workgroup is focused on and invested in.
The advisory board also shouldn't have the same access as the Board of Directors — Board members are elected which means that members agree they see confidential material. People who are appointed should not get the same access (thinking specifically of Campfire/Basecamp areas for the Board of Directors).
