National
Treasurer Roles and Responsibilities
While below are the
main duties and role of the NAAE National Treasurer, Executive Committee
members all cross over into each other’s from time to time when needed.
One of the unique aspects about PPQ and NAAE is that we are small; most
people know many other fellow workers throughout the country. NAAE
has never been as formal as other unions or particular about which union
member you come to for help. NAAE wants to help you if you need it
to the extent of our ability and expertise. Reach out to whomever
you are most comfortable, we’ll take it from there. That’s the way
NAAE and its EC operate.
The Treasurer handles
the finances on NAAE. We have an accountant with whom the Treasurer
works as a go-between for the rest of the EC. The Treasurer ensures
all of our tax returns get filed, LM forms get filed, expenses get
reimbursed, etc.
Remember, it’s a
committee, so everyone weighs in, debates, and votes on issues, concerns
and advice regarding representation of our very diverse bargaining
unit. Just trying to keep up with the many national and local issues
going on and coming up is pretty much a position in itself.
