DataWorks NC is currently seeking volunteer candidates for the Treasurer role on its Board of Directors.
Position Description
The Treasurer shall have primary custody of all funds and securities belonging to the corporation and shall receive, deposit or disburse the same under the direction of the Board of Directors; provided, that the Board may appoint a custodian or depository for any such funds or securities, and the Board Chair and Vice-Chair together with the Treasurer will jointly authorize how such funds may be disbursed or transferred. The Treasurer shall in general perform the duties incident to the office and such other duties as may be assigned from time to time by the Board Chair or the Board of Directors.
The annual organization budget is approximately $500,000 annually.

- Approve (with one executive staff member), staff purchases above $2,000. (This is also reflected in our M&F bank card policy.)
