Houses create committees, and so does the SHHI Board of Directors. Commitees can be either ad hoc committees , which means that they're created to answer a particular question or serve a specific function and then disbanded once their goal is met, or standing committees , which means that they are consistently focusing on a particular issue because there's an ongoing need for this focus. Committees boost SHHI's service-providing power by benefiting the needs of SHHI members. Members from the houses sign up to serve on these committees because they're interested in the experience they'll gain or if they have a particular idea or inspiration for a project. In-House committees report findings and make recommendations to their house.
Houses can create and disband committees with autonomy.
