on We are looking for one or more Chapter Treasurer candidates to serve a term of office of two years starting January 1, 2015.
Candidates for Treasurer must be STC and Washington, DC – Baltimore Chapter members in good standing. They should be be well-organized and attentive to detail. Previous experience as a treasurer is greatly helpful.
The Treasurer has the following duties:
Chapter Treasurers are part of the chapter’s administrative council, a group of people with whom you will work toward common goals and who will support you professionally and personally. You will have a vote on all matters requiring one and will be able to propose significant activities and/or changes in direction. You will be able to attend most chapter events for free or at least a very reduced rate.
Chapter Treasurers are not required to attend all chapter events but are always welcome. This is the perfect job for those of you who cannot often attend evening events. All of your responsibilities can be done electronically. Most administrative council meetings are handled over the phone.
If you would like to be considered as a candidate or would like to talk through your decision with someone who has been there, contact Carolyn Klinger, Nominations Manager as soon as possible.
