COUNCIL NEEDS NEW TREASURER & BUDGET/FINANCE COMMITTEE MEMBERS

There is an opportunity available for an interested and qualified member to serve as Council treasurer effective, tentatively, January 1, 2008.

There is also an opportunity for members to assist with financial planning and control by serving on the Council’s Budget and Finance Committee.

In an October 22 message, Council Treasurer COL Arthur “Ike” Isensee, USMC-Ret, announced his intention to retire at the end of the year.

“First, I have had the pleasure since reporting the year 1998 closing statement,” he said. “Second, it makes sense to have the account available in the end of the state where the president hangs out. Third, it is time for someone else to get the opportunity (pleasure?). So this is my plan–to get ahead instead of coming from behind.”

He plans to make the transition as simple, effective, and easy as possible.

According to the bylaws, the Treasurer shall:
–Maintain a record of all sums received, fees and dues;
–Make all disbursements in payments of bills as authorized by the Executive Committee. The approved budget is authorizatin for the expenditure of funds for the purposes and amounts provided for therein;
–Deposit all moneys received in a federally insured institution;
–Withdraw funds there from only upon his signature, or in the event of his absence or disability, provide for the signature of the CAL-MOAA Prtesident to be recroded with the bank so that he may withdraw money;
–Render an account of receipts and expenditures at the Executive Committee meetings and/or when directed to do so by the CAL-MOAA President;
–Be a member of the Executive Committee, ex-officio and without a vote.

There is provision for a Budget and Finance Committee which will:
–Include the Treasurer of CAL-MOAA s an ex-officio voting member;
–Within policies determined by the Executive Committee, and with full coordination with the chairmen of all CAL-MOAA standing committees, prepare annual budgets for all CAL-MOAA activities to be approved by the Executive Committee at its autumn meeting;
–Compute the recommended assessment required of each affiliated chapter to support the budget activities approved by the Executive Committee, based on the number of regular members in each chapter on the last day of the year pevious to the budget year. Monitor actual receipts and disbursements periodically in relation to the budget and propose ways and means to the Executive Committee to obtain more funds for CAL-MOAA activities without increasing CAL-MOAA assessments;
–Be aware that affiliated chapters are affiliates rather than subordinate units of CAL-MOAA and as such, their internal fiscal activities do not lie within the province of the CAL-MOAA Budget and Finance Committee.

These positions represent extraordinary opportunities to serve the Council and in turn the military community.
