When I was hired to work for the Northeastern Conference, my main responsibility as treasurer was to provide financial leadership including, but not limited to, receiving, safeguarding and disbursing all funds in harmony with actions of the Board of Directors, providing financial information to the President and to the Board of Directors to ensure optimal performance of such office.

Once a week, I will meet with the treasury sectional heads to go over any issues or challenges and communicate same to the administrative staff. Once a month, I will meet with the entire treasury staff to update them on any decisions made by the administration that is relevant to their work functions. Once a quarter, I will present the treasurer's report to the Board and answer any questions relating to treasury or to Governance. I was in constant community with the church and school treasurer to assist with policy issues and any areas related to governance. Subsequently I became more involved in managing day to day accounting activities, including billing, accounts payable, cash disbursements and cash receipts; ensured compliance with organizational policies. This was due to downsizing of the assistant treasurer position. I was asked to be involved in Trusts and Estate Planning.

What they like about Northeastern Conference:

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
