Good or bad, its a requirement. Otherwise any Dick or Tom ( gee I hope no one named Dick or Tom is running for treasurer....LOL) can be named a designee, and if the treasurer is found not in compliance, the designee takes over.....and that person didn't have to meet any requirements. Rules are there for a reason. * Ileana * Diane writes:............(e) The Treasurer shall have a minimum of five (5) years of professional public or professional private accounting experience. Evan writes:..........I was on the board when this was done. There was a treasurer who did a good job, but didn't have accounting experience it was Tom Sherman. The board voted to make this a requirement for any treasurer in the future, and it has stopped some from being considered. I assume before anyone is nominated now, the requirement is noted. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
