The club treasurer handles the club’s finances by collecting
and depositing funds, working with the secretary to send
member dues statements, and reporting payments to the
board. They pay bills as approved, keep track of all financial
records, and share monthly and semi-annual financial
updates with the board. As the finance committee chair,
they help manage the club’s financial planning. At the end
of their term, they pass all financial records and funds to
the next treasurer.
As the club treasurer, it is important to know that public
(activity) funds must be used for community projects
and public purposes, including any interest earned from
these funds. The only expenses that can be taken from
this account are the costs directly related to fundraising.
Administrative funds, on the other hand, come from
member dues, fines and contributions, and are used
to cover the club’s running costs. Keeping these funds
separate is key to managing the club’s finances effectively.

The club treasurer is also responsible for ensuring
prompt payments of semi-annual dues by December 31
and June 30. For questions regarding statements,
