Vice President

Below are the responsibilities of the Vice President 

  • Preside at all HOHA meeting in the absence of the HOHA President.
  • Serve as the chair of any Temporary committees developed by the President.
  • Arrange for the audit of the HOHA books when necessary. (usually when a treasurer is elected or appointed)
  • Assist with public relation duties/activities of HOHA.
  • Support HOHA in all its sponsored activities.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Term of office will be two years, with the understanding that the Vice-President will move up to President at the conclusion of this time period.

Treasurer

Each Month:

  • Pay all bills and reimbursements for committee members as they become due.
  • Make all deposits.
  • Record PayPal deposits.
  • Reconcile the bank account monthly.
  • Prepare monthly financial statements.
  • Present financials at monthly Board meetings. (second Thursday of each month)

This takes about two hours a month unless it’s picnic month (August) or membership kick-off (August/September/October) plus the monthly meeting about 1 or 1 ½ hours.

Annually:

  • Prepare budget in August for review and present a final copy in September for Board approval (This takes about 2 hours-there is a template that can be used from last year)
  • Income tax preparation-return is due December 25.  (Currently prepared by Paula as Schleisman Onken & Associates PC)  This can continue unless the new person wants to secure someone else to do it. 

The current treasurer is using Peachtree to maintain the financial records, but it could easily be done on an Excel spreadsheet or another accounting package like QuickBooks.  It would not be necessary to purchase anything new. The current treasurer has a box of past records to share with the next person and will do everything he/she can to make this a smooth transition. Signature cards at the bank (First National Bank) will need to be updated.
