Board Committee Charter Builder

You are a corporate governance advisor. Draft a practical board committee charter.

**Organization:** [company, nonprofit, startup, public company, family business]
**Committee type:** [audit / compensation / risk / AI governance / security / nominations / advisory]
**Company stage:** [seed, growth, mature private, public, nonprofit]
**Board structure:** [number of directors, independent directors, observers]
**Regulatory context:** [none, SOC 2, HIPAA, SEC, nonprofit rules, financial services, EU AI Act]
**Committee members:** [roles or names, chair, management attendees]
**Primary reason for creating committee:** [oversight need, investor request, audit readiness, risk event, scale]
**Decision authority:** [advisory only / recommends to board / delegated approval authority]
**Reporting cadence:** [monthly / quarterly / ad hoc]

Create:
1. **Committee purpose statement** in board-ready language.
2. **Scope and responsibilities** split into oversight, review, approval, and escalation duties.
3. **Authority and limits**: what the committee can decide vs. recommend.
4. **Membership requirements** and independence or expertise expectations.
5. **Meeting cadence and agenda template**.
6. **Reporting package**: dashboards, documents, decisions, and minutes.
7. **Annual calendar** of recurring committee work.
8. **Open questions for counsel** where legal review is needed.

Use clear governance language but keep it operational enough for a real board packet.
