Event Description

Title
The Effective Board Treasurer: Understanding Roles, Responsibilities, and Good Standards

Presenter
Erin Zollenkopf, CEO, Susan Matlack Jones & Associates

Whether you are a Treasurer, are interested in being a Treasurer, or are staff working with a Treasurer, understanding the responsibilities of this role and how it fits into the structure of an organization is essential for good governance and a sustainable, fiscally responsible nonprofit. Organizations can struggle when a Treasurer is inexperienced, unsupported, or doesn’t understand the unique quirks and challenges in the nonprofit sector. Setting up good systems and standards can help resolve this struggle and create a Treasurer position that is effective and fulfilling for the person serving in that role.

This session will cover:

  • Understanding the roles and responsibilities of the Board Treasurer
  • Learning how to engage board, staff and committees in creating financial oversight
  • Reviewing nonprofit-specific terminology and some of the challenges that come with working in the nonprofit sector
  • Tips for how a new Treasurer or a Treasurer without a financial background can be knowledgeable in their role
  • Examples of finance committee calendars, Board Treasurer job descriptions, basic fiscal controls, and more!

For accommodation requests, please contact us at training@nonprofitoregon.org. Advanced notice of at least 10 days is appreciated.
