One Society, Many Hands: Help Us Fill the Treasurer Position
As an all‑volunteer organization, our Society depends entirely on the willingness of its members to share their time, skills, and energy. Every program we offer, every meeting we hold, every resource we publish exists because someone stepped forward and said, “I can help.” Today, we are at one of those moments again. We need a member to step into the role of Treasurer—an essential position that keeps our Society running smoothly and responsibly.
At present, I am serving as both President and Treasurer. While we have strong safeguards in place to ensure financial accountability—including regular oversight, transparent reporting, and established procedures—it is not ideal for one person to hold both roles. Healthy organizations distribute responsibility. They rely on multiple hands, multiple perspectives, and shared commitment. Our Society is no different.
The Treasurer’s duties are straightforward: recording dues, paying bills, maintaining accurate financial records, and helping ensure that our operations remain stable and transparent. You do not need to be an accountant or have prior financial experience. What matters most is reliability, a willingness to learn, and a desire to contribute to the well‑being of the Society. Training and support are available, and you will not be left to figure things out alone.
Volunteer work is not about perfection—it is about participation. And participation is what keeps us alive.
Our Society cannot thrive on the efforts of a small handful of people. It belongs to all of us, and it needs all of us. If you have enjoyed our programs, benefited from our resources, or found community among fellow researchers, I ask you to consider giving back in this meaningful way. Serving as Treasurer is an opportunity to make a real difference, to strengthen our foundation, and to ensure that our mission continues for years to come.
If you feel even a small tug of possibility, I encourage you to reach out. Let’s talk about what the role involves and how we can support you as you step into it.
