Are sub-committee members automatically members of the main committee? In our Florida Condo Owners Association, there is a requirement (normal) that the main Board of Directors approves the addition of members to committees (this is for liability insurance reasons)

There is an opinion (among some members) that if a committee (with BOD approval) organizes a sub-committee, then all members of the sub-committee are automatically members of the 'parent' committee. This does not make sense when related to the BOD approval process for committee (and surely also sub-committee) members.

Committees do not have the power to name non-committee members to their subcommittees, unless the society prescribes otherwise in particular cases. See RONR (10th ed.), p. 480, ll. 11-17.

Edited the "unless..." clause.

And if it does, the non-committee members of the sub-committee do not "automatically" become members of the committee.

...Just as if the parent organization appointee a nonmember to a committee (for example an accountant on the auditing committee) that would not make this person a member of the organization automatically.
