What do the chairperson, secretary and treasurer do?
The chairperson runs meetings and signs minutes. The secretary handles correspondence and notices. The treasurer monitors the scheme's finances. In professionally managed schemes the strata manager usually performs the secretary and treasurer functions.
These three are 'office bearers' under state law and are elected by the committee at its first meeting after the AGM. The chair has a casting vote in most jurisdictions when the committee is split. None of these roles entitle the holder to act unilaterally — they still need committee or owners corporation approval for anything substantive.
