Cabinet

A select group of state officials who each head one or more of the principal bureaucratic departments or agencies of the executive branch of government and who meet as a group from time to time for the purpose of discussing current policy proposals and advising the chief executive of their recommendations. (Chief executives usually also maintain one or more additional advisory councils that may well be more influential than the more formal cabinet.)
