11 Apr RAA News April 2015
Volunteer Needed!
The Board of Directors needs a volunteer to be the RAA Treasurer. This person is a voting member of the Board and meets occasionally with the Operating Committee.
The duties are to coordinate with the Bookkeeper (Elena Pattison) and CPA (Jessie Powell) so as to be familiar with the accounting system and financial reporting. The Board requires a financial report at meetings that occur typically every three months. These reports are prepared by the Bookkeeper so the Treasurer only needs to be familiar with them so as to answer questions from the Board.
The Treasurer is also a co-signer for the RAA checking account at the local bank and investment accounts at Stiefel Investments. The Treasurer chairs the Boards Finance and Investment Committee that meets once a year to review our investments with our official investment manager, Robert Heinze of Stiefel. Those interested please contact Larry Harvill, Board Chair.
