Geocaching Victoria is in search of a new Treasurer with the position about to become available. After eight years BernieH has decided to not just retire from work, but also from his long held position on our committee as Treasurer. This has been in discussion for many months now and maybe I was in denial, maybe we were reluctant to let him go, but alas the time has come for me to make the annoucement and find a suitable replacement.
What we are looking for – The Treasurers Role
The Treasurer is a key member of the Geocaching Victoria Committee with the primary role of supporting the committee in all areas of financial governance to ensure that the Incorporation maintains its fiduciary responsibility.
In this role you will be responsible for assisting Geocaching Victoria and its sub-committees setting and maintaining budgets, maintaining a set of (online) accounts including data entry of income and expenses, reconciling bank accounts together with PayPal, Square and shop sales as well as financial reporting for committee and sub-committee meetings.
It would be beneficial to have an understanding of accounts including being comfortable with PC and web based programs and a willingness to embrace innovation.
If this sounds like something that excites you and you would like to learn more about the role or wish to apply, please contact Jo Cox aka heymissjo directly before Friday 26th May 2023 president@geocachingvictoria.com.au
A Massive Thank you Bernie
Of course it would be remiss of me to not extend a MASSIVE thank you to Bernie who has dedicated thousands of hours over the past eight years – from our humble beginnings until today. He has been instrumental to the success of our Megas, the establishment of Geocaching Victoria as an Incorporation and a much loved member of the team. Although he is ready to pass the baton on to become a fulltime geocacher, he will still be an avid supporter of Geocaching Victoria and we know that he will be not far away. All the best in your next chapter and go get those caches Bernie!
