výbor

A výbor is a Czech and Slovak word that translates to "committee" in English. It refers to a group of people appointed or elected to perform a specific task, often within a larger organization such as a political party, a club, a company, or a local government. The composition and powers of a výbor can vary widely depending on its purpose and the governing rules of the entity it serves.

Committees are typically formed to deliberate on issues, make recommendations, or oversee particular areas of activity. For example, a local government might have a planning výbor responsible for reviewing building permits and development proposals, or a political party might establish a výbor to organize fundraising events. The members of a výbor are usually chosen for their expertise or interest in the subject matter.

The function of a výbor is to provide focused attention and expertise to a particular area, which can be more efficient than having the entire larger body address every detail. Decisions or recommendations made by a výbor are often presented to the parent organization for final approval or action. In some cases, a výbor may have delegated authority to make decisions independently within its defined scope. The term emphasizes a structured group working towards a common objective.
