Help! I’ve Been Elected Board Treasurer
Written by Mario Hernandez for Propel Nonprofits’ governance blog, this post offers assistance to those who have been granted (or saddled) with the role of board treasurer. Hernandez breaks down the duties of the board treasurer and offers steps to set them up for success.
“I’ve found there are two main reasons people are hesitant to take on the role of treasurer: they lack confidence in their ability to do the role because they don’t have a clear idea of what it entails, or they feel overwhelmed by the lack of systems in place and are therefore worried something could go wrong…and that they’ll be the one responsible. However, the board treasurer is a critical leadership role for an organization.”
