Im in Qld. If Vic is similar the titles of Chair, Sect and Treasurer dont carry any more sway than other committee members other than a couple more duties. But in short they are of no higher value or status.
I can think of a couple of significant differences. In Victoria, the chair carries a deciding vote in a tie, and in Qld the office-bearers are elected by the owners as a whole (before the committee election).
Even so, it comes down to how individuals behave and being armed with the law of the land does help.
In my NSW scheme the chairman turns up for committee meetings with the minutes pre-prepared (although the secretary is allowed to suggest changes) and is also treasurer. That said, most owners think the building is well-run, so who am I to argue?
