Good Morning Board, to start off, I've always appreciated the various topics and advise given to posters and viewers of TFP. For once, I need some direction and any assistance this great community will provide.

Recently, I was elected to the board position of Treasurer, at the local level, of a nationally recognized philanthropic organization. The chapter is made up of business persons as well as influential individuals within my small community.

My duties are to report to the President of the Chapter, advise monetary status to the board, and budget finances for covering accounts payable and charitable donations.

Since I have limited accounting knowledge and only introductory abilities in Quickbooks, I am a bit nervous and like always, want to make a good impression.

Is there any advise that you all can provide with regards to what reports would be most helpful, avoiding common pitfalls, as well as things you've witnessed or performed in ways that exceeded expectations and impressed?

I really appreciate any advise or direction, at first I was tentative regarding accepting the position, but was quick to see the value in learning new things and the opportunity to excel in the public eye.

Thanks again,

Freefire
