Treasurer Board Member

Join the Weaselhead/Glenmore Park Preservation Society - a dynamic and committed group of people that promote environmental stewardship and provide outdoor education to over 4000 schoolchildren every year here in Calgary!

We are looking for a new Treasurer for our Board to contribute to discussions at our monthly board meetings, lead our finance subcommittee, and help in decision making. The Treasurer would advise and guide on the financial stewardship of the organization, with a focus on financial sustainability and compliance.

The Treasurer would be responsible for preparing budgets, financial statements and submitting annual financial reports to the Society’s auditor, the CRA and AGLC. The minimum time commitment required per month is 4 to 5 hours: 2 hours to attend board meetings, one hour preparation for meetings (briefing notes are sent out beforehand to lay the groundwork for any upcoming discussions), and 1 to 2 hours to oversee financial matters as they arise and meet (in person or online) with the Executive Director on a regular basis. The Society’s annual turnover is ~$110,000 and it has 8 part-time contractors to deliver its programs. The Treasurer will also be expected to chair 3 financial committee meetings per year and attend annual events such as the AGM and Volunteer Appreciation picnic.

Experience in fundraising would be helpful. Collaboration with staff is important for smooth financial operations. We are looking for a reliable and responsive person to ensure our financial goals align with our strategic objectives to participate in delivering our mission - to advance and foster environmental learning, experiences, protection and appreciation… to support communities that embrace and conserve our natural spaces. The Weaselhead Glenmore Park Preservation Society is an inclusive organization.
