The duties of this position have grown over the course of the last two years, so it's a great opportunity to challenge yourself and make a genuine contribution to the organization. In addition to paying bills, this person also monitors the Association's finances and develops quarterly reports. Bookkeeping skills or interest would be helpful initially in order to manage the QuickBooks database, create and manipulate accounts, and document the movement of money using journal entries, or to oversee these duties.
The treasurer works in tandem with the business office in Colorado, where most income deposits are made and health insurance premiums tracked. He or she also works closely with an accountant who monitors QuickBooks data and then prepares annual tax reports for the IRS. The treasurer invests ANPR's funds and monitors the investments, and may also contract with auditors or others to ensure accuracy of the Association's record keeping. This is a challenging position and an opportunity to make a real difference in the organization. For more information, contact the business manager, Teresa Ford, at fordedit@aol.com.
