Sub-committees let you run separate groups — a finance sub-committee, a risk sub-committee, a working group — under the one organisation. Each sub-committee has its own members, meetings, minutes and documents, with permissions maintained separately, while sitting in a clear hierarchy beneath the parent committee.
Your plan includes a number of sub-committees (the Standard plan includes 2 and Enterprise includes 5); additional ones can be added for a small monthly fee. To adjust your subscription, contact us.
When you’re logged in, use the committee hierarchy view to switch quickly between the parent committee and its sub-committees. See Switch between organisations.
By default a sub-committee is private to its own members. If you’d like parent-committee members to be able to view a sub-committee — for example, so every board member can see what a sub-committee is doing — enable the Allow access to parent committee members setting on the sub-committee. This grants view access without adding each person as a member.
Action items can be assigned to a sub-committee. At the end of a meeting, those actions are emailed to the sub-committee’s members, copied into the sub-committee with a link back to the original, and included in its carry-forward list. See Assign and complete action items.
