FINANCE COMMITTEE
The Finance Committee, created in 2020, acts as a resource to the GCW Executive Committee and the Treasurer by reviewing financial transactions to ensure that they are in accordance with the bylaws of the organization and standard accounting practices. The President, First Vice President, the Treasurer, and Assistant Treasurer serve on this committee. As well the committee is charged with:
- Evaluating whether funds are appropriately invested and
- Assessing whether advisable amounts are held in cash, short-term investments, and long-term investments.
The Finance Committee meets no fewer than twice yearly and makes recommendations on allocation and management of GCW funds (restricted, designated, unrestricted, and operating). From its review, the Finance Committee assesses the overall financial health of the GCW. Members of the Finance Committee are empowered to meet with the bookkeeper and/or the CPA as deemed necessary.
