Treasurer Overview

What the Treasurer owns

The Treasurer is responsible for the club’s money: dues, payments, reimbursements, reporting, and the budget that keeps the club financially healthy.

A good Treasurer makes the finances predictable. Members should know when dues are due, what the club is spending money on, and how to resolve payment questions without drama.

Monthly money rhythm

A workable treasury rhythm is to keep a dues calendar, send reminders early, track receipts as they happen, and review the club budget before it becomes a surprise.

  • -Collect dues reminders before the deadline window.
  • -Track payments, receipts, and reimbursements in one place.
  • -Share a short financial report with the executive committee.
  • -Coordinate with the Secretary and President when club records or approvals are needed.
  • -Keep the budget visible so the club does not overspend quietly.

What to do in the first 30 days

Review current balances, dues timing, and any outstanding expenses. Then make sure the club has a simple financial calendar so dues and budget decisions are not handled at the last second.

What good looks like

A strong Treasurer is organized, transparent, and calm. The club should always know where the money stands and what decisions need to happen next.
