Adding it up: The roles and responsibilities of a nonprofit treasurer

Description

Abstract: Like its for-profit counterparts, a nonprofit can’t succeed without maintaining sound fiscal health. That’s why the title of “treasurer” is so much more than an honorific. By watching over the organization’s “treasure,” the person holding that position facilitates the accomplishment of the nonprofit’s greater goals. This article explores the roles and responsibilities of the position and what qualities a candidate should possess. A sidebar explains that communication skills are especially important in the job.
