Volunteer job

Treasurer

As treasurer you manage the money of SHOUT Wageningen. A large part of SHOUT’s financial affairs is automated, so as a treasurer you are mainly concerned with checking whether everything is going well. Check whether a receipt is available for each expenditure, whether there are no strange expenditures, etc.

You also pay the bills, you pay performers who perform at parties and activities and you ensure that the subsidies and donations end up in the right place in the accounts.

You will also occasionally be involved in applying for a subsidy. Twice a year you make an overview for the GMM and once a year you propose the budget for the following year.

A lot of work?

Not quite! Because almost everythingis automated, you can keep it under control with 1 to 2 hours a week.

Board position

Treasurer is a board position. In addition to your duties as treasurer, you are therefore also present at board meetings and you can also take on other tasks within the board if you wish.
