Are you looking for a high-impact volunteer opportunity with a visionary organization?
Do you have a background in finance or accounting?
The Bridge Back Project is looking for a Treasurer.
Become part of our organization’s leadership team and provide invaluable input to our Board and Executive Director. While the time commitment for this volunteer position is small, the impact is mighty. You will be part of a small, passion-driven, collaborative, and generous team that is setting the stage for years of restoring health and hope for survivors of injury and trauma.
The role of the Board Treasurer is to provide general oversight of the organization's finances, serve as a resource to the Executive Director, and provide informed guidance to the Board. Practically speaking, this means:
A good candidate will be familiar with, comfortable, and maybe even enjoy reviewing and interpreting financial statements and spreadsheets.
For our small organization, the Board Treasurer serves as the third leg of a stool of financial accountability (the other two legs being the ED and bookkeeper), providing another check to ensure that financial statements are prepared correctly, that the organization is in compliance with state and federal law, and that the Board-approved budget is being adhered to.
The office of Treasurer is an oversight role, not a managerial role. You will not be involved in the day-to-day financial management or operations of the organization. You will work directly with the Executive Director, providing key oversight and thought partnership on a quarterly and annual basis to ensure the healthy administration of the organizational budget. You represent the Board’s fiduciary duty to protect and preserve the organization’s mission and will be asked to help educate the Board as to the financial health and future of the organization.
Reports to: Board of Directors
Works with: Executive Director and bookkeeper
Estimated Time Commitment: 4-8 hours per quarter
Note: Officer vs. Director Roles
A Treasurer is an Officer not a member of the Board of Directors. The office of Treasurer is an elected position. A Board member may serve as Treasurer but the Treasurer doesn’t not have to be a director. However, if you decide that you’d like to be nominated for a directorship, you must volunteer for at least 6 months before you’d be eligible to join the Board of directors.
