The Ozark Chapter is currently seeking a volunteer Treasurer. We have recently changed the procedures so that the basic check writing, deposits, and bank reconciliations are done at the chapter office by our very capable Chapter Administrative Assistant, Terri Folsom. This means that the Treasurer’s job does not require as great a time commitment as it once did. It is also not necessary that the Treasurer be an accountant, although we would welcome someone with that expertise. Training will be available for anyone interested. The job does require someone who is good with numbers and details...if you don’t ever balance your checkbook, you probably need to volunteer in some other area! The following are the duties of the Treasurer as we currently see the position:
$ Review the General Ledger (detailed transaction report) and Financial Statements prepared by Terri every other month before the Chapter Executive Committee meetings.
$ Prepare an Annual Budget and keep an eye expenditures in order to notify the Program Director and the Executive Committee if we need to raise additional funds to cover these expenses.
$ Prepare the Annual Report to the National Sierra Club Headquarters, combining the Chapter financial activities with those of the Groups. This is done on spreadsheets provided by the national club and is not very complicated.
$ Review the Quarterly Statements provided by the Sierra Club Foundation and initiate grant requests if funds are available.
$ Be available to answer questions from Terri, Ken or the Executive Committee.
Please consider volunteering for this position. This is a good opportunity to get involved in the statewide activities of the Sierra Club. If you have any questions, please contact Donna Clark Fuller at (816) 779-7284 or donnadan@gvi.net.
