FOR THE BAY AREA

CANADIAN COMMUNITY

Wednesday, January 17th

Happy New Year and Greetings from the Digital Moose Lounge! Read our latest Blog Post.

The Digital Moose Lounge is led by a volunteer board of twelve and is seeking a new Treasurer to take the reigns from our outgoing Treasurer. This role is integral to the Board operating a financially healthy organization.

About the role:

Works closely with the Chair / President of the Digital Moose Lounge.
Serves as the responsible Officer to monitor and present financial data to help the board execute its fiduciary duties while identifying fiscal risks and trends.
Manages events transactions, works with the governance committee on the board to track expenses and tax compliance obligations, and presents financial updates at quarterly board meetings.
Has signature authority over the DML’s banking, tax, and financial reporting.
Ideally, we are seeking someone with CPA or operational oversight experience and a passion for Canada; our bylaws allow the treasurer to only serve as an officer OR to join the board as an officer and director.

Please send resumes/bios directly to DML Chair Sarah Price sarah@digitalmooselounge
