Advisory Committees / Honorary Committee / Patron

An advisory committee is not an additional position. The Commissioner lends his name to an advisory committee and no further activities are carried out. An advisory committee usually works to achieve a specific social objective. No further obligation ensues from taking part in a committee other than the mention of the Commissioner’s name in the advisory committee.
