An advisory board is a body that provides non-binding strategic advice to the management of a corporation, organization, or foundation. The informal nature of an advisory board gives greater flexibility in structure and management compared to the board of directors. Unlike the board of directors, the advisory board does not have authority to vote on corporate matters or bear legal fiduciary responsibilities. (Wikipedia)

Advisory council may refer to: Privy council, a body that advises the head of state of a nation, typically, but not always, in the context of a monarchic government (Wikipedia)
