The Treasurer has a big job and benefits greatly from individuals with financial knowledge and experience and a willingness to take on special tasks and research projects. This committee carries out a number of financial operations. One major project is organizing and collecting information for proposing the annual budget. We also work to establish financial policies and procedures. Finance Committee members participate in the following tasks: •Monthly review of financial statements •Ongoing review and creation of financial policies and procedures •Manage and oversee QUUF’s investments Responsibilities include monthly meeting as well as some at-home “homework” and an annual day-long planning retreat.

It is satisfying knowing that you are doing vital work that supports the fellowship.The Fellowship needs people to keep it on the “straight and narrow,” financially speaking. This committee keeps the fellowship financially healthy and able to fulfill its vision and mission.

Skills Needed: 

Ability to read and understand financial reports ; comfort with numbers and arithmetic; interest in policies and procedures; ability to meet on a regular monthly basis. Comfort with spreadsheets would be a plus.

Training, assistance, and safety requirements: 

If you take on a specific task, we will thoroughly train you, but otherwise little training is necessary. Every summer we meet for a long retreat and policy meeting to set the annual agenda. Estimated time commitment is 10-12 hours per month.
