What are the Treasurer’s responsibilities?

• A. Represent the chapter in meetings.
• B. Manage finances, collect dues, maintain ledgers, prepare budgets and financial reports, and oversee audits.
• C. Maintain list of members and attendance.
• D. Organize social events only.

Answer: (B)

The Treasurer’s job centers on the chapter’s finances. This means handling money, collecting dues, keeping accurate ledgers of all income and expenditures, and planning a budget that guides how funds are spent. The Treasurer also prepares financial reports so members can see the chapter’s financial status and oversees audits to ensure money is handled correctly and records are verifiable. These duties keep the chapter financially healthy and accountable to members and any governing bodies. Other roles are typically handled by different officers: representing the chapter in meetings is usually a leadership role like the President or a designated representative, maintaining the member list and attendance falls to the Secretary or Membership Chair, and organizing social events is the responsibility of the Social Chair or events coordinator.
