Extracts from What the management committee does and Who can be on the management committee
The president:
chairs the committee
plays a major role in general meetings.
Under the model rules, the president must chair every meeting they attend. If they can’t attend a meeting, another committee member can sit in as acting chair.
The secretary’s duties include:
keeping the register of members
sending and receiving letters, emails or other documents
advising the president or treasurer about urgent matters that arise from letters or other documents
taking nominations for the committee
telling members about meetings (giving plenty of notice)
calling and convening all meetings
arranging the venue
preparing the agenda
gathering and presenting any relevant documents
taking and keeping minutes of meetings and making them available to members.
The treasurer is responsible for the financial affairs of the association. Their duties might include:
keeping and maintaining an asset register for the association
managing the petty cash balance
keeping the petty cash book up to date
documenting all payments made, including receipts, invoices and statements
maintaining all deposit and cheque books
making sure that the committee
approves or ratifies all payments made
records details of these payments in the minutes
keeping all financial records in Queensland.
They must also keep track of payments received by using either:
a receipt book of consecutively numbered receipts
a computer system that keeps track of these records.
Committee members have a duty to act in the best interests of the association. If they do not, they may be personally liable for the consequences.
This means they should:
never abuse their powers as committee members
declare conflict of interests
exercise due care, skill and diligence.
The committee must ensure the association fulfils its reporting requirements every year. If you don’t, we may issue a ‘show cause’ notice asking you to give reasons as to why we shouldn’t cancel the incorporation.
