How it's used
This term is used primarily in formal, organizational, or political contexts rather than casual social settings. It implies a specific appointment or election to a designated body, distinguishing it from a general member of a club or group. When referring to someone in a leadership role within a committee, it is often paired with specific titles like 主席.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 會員, which refers to a general member of an organization or club. A 委員 holds a specific position of responsibility or governance, whereas a 會員 simply belongs to the group.
