One
of the executive committee's positions
is that of the treasurer. While that position is
important and necessary to the handling of money, the main
purpose is to comply with WAAAUB bylaws and to ensure
transparency and accountability in matters involving the
collection and disbursements of moneys. The Ohio valley
chapter is a non profit organization. Any and all monetary
transactions, including fund raising, will be executed in
accordance, and consistent, with the laws of the United
States, the WAAAUB bylaws, and maintaining the highest
standards of ethical and moral responsibility, and best
conduct.

The chapter
received a one time $ 1000.00 sum in seed money, from
WAAAUB. The treasurer creates a bank account to handle the
chapter's business. The chapter is not equipped with credit
card machines, or any other transaction processing machines.
We appreciate and depend on cash payments for paid events
and activities, from members and friends.
-
Members of
the executive committee volunteer their time to the business
of the chapter. No member is paid for his/her service.
-
The
executive committee meets once a month and produces a
minutes document, which is published too the site for
