Hi LA,
For the last couple of years Mark Tearle has done a fantastic job as
Treasurer of LA, but his stated intention was always to hold the
position for only 2 years while he got the finances in order and then
pass the job on to the next sucker (errr, volunteer) ;-)
There haven't been any nominations yet for the position of Treasurer,
but it's a vital role in the organisation and we need to have someone
step up to the plate. You don't have to be an accountant to do the
job, but you will need to have a reasonable understanding of
book-keeping and be generally available to handle payments and
incoming funds.
Ideally someone with some experience of running an LCA would be great
since so much of LA's finances are tied to LCA, but that's not
essential.
If you're interested in taking on the role or know someone else who
may be a good candidate please speak up.
Cheers :-)

Hi all
Jon asked me to eleaborate on this a bit further about the nature of the
role :-
It roughly falls into three major areas of endeavour,
A/ Keeping the wheels of the organisation turning
Ensuring that things get paid, money gets collected, doing the
banking, handling the mail and generally handling the business end of
LA
B/ Planning, budgeting and supervision
Tracking and managing the finances of LA to ensure the best return
on it's assets. Accomplishing strategic changes to LA finances.
Supervising the financial operations of the conference and the
financial systems of the organisation more generally.
C/ Book/record keeping and reporting
Ensuring all transactions are record and filed appropriately.
Generating annual reports and interim reports for the committee.
There's a lot more detail possible here but this is a good start.
Mark
