Does an officer of a body have to be a member of that body? 

Robert's Rules do not require an officer to be a member, however any qualifications for office are properly found only in the bylaws themselves.

"In most societies it is usual to elect the officers from among the members; but in all except secret societies, unless the bylaws provide otherwise, it is possible for an organization to choose its officers from outside its membership. "  RONR (12th ed.), 47:2
