The chief of the work permit deparment says otherwise: 

Normally, being on a committee involves attending meetings to make decisions and signing papers. In this case, you would need a work permit.
 

According to the Announcement of the Department of Employment dated 6 March 2015, the following activities are not considered as “work” anymore and therefore do not require a work permit:

• Attending a meeting, a discussion, or a seminar;

• Attending an exhibition or a trade show;

• Attending a business trip or a business discussion;

• Attending a special or academic lecture;

• Attending a training and a technical seminar;

• Purchasing goods in a trade show; and

• Attending a Board of Directors meeting of one’s own company.

 

Making decisions and attending meetings does not require a WP. If a Director wants to sign papers/cheques on behalf of the company they do need a WP. Your claim is that Directors need a WP to make decisions. They don't.

 

I get your confusion based on your link, but someone on a condo committee could be, and I assume is, considered to be working on behalf of the condo, therefore, they would need permission (WP or exclusion). Whatever status the labour department assign the condo committee member they are not a Co. Director, therefore, the comparison is irrelevant.

Do you earn a salary for the duties of Director? Do you live in Thailand on an extension of stay? 

• No. There is no salary requirement. 
• I am married to a Thai and have Thai children so I only have extensions based on my family, not work.
