Robert Ramos, Secretary-Treasurer and Chair, Finance Committee Fall Memo

Greetings to you all, and welcome back to the school year! I hope everyone had a relaxing and productive summer; whether you spent it continuing your studies, pursuing a summer job, traveling, or simply getting some well-deserved rest. Special congratulations to all newly elected or appointed treasurers!
 
The beginning of the school year is an exciting time. New classes and catching up with old friends makes the transition back to school fresh. Planning for the year’s activities in your local NSNA chapter will set the stage for a productive year. As you plan your budgets and activities for the year, know that it is completely normal to feel a little nervous or uneasy in your new role as treasurer. It is an important job! However, I and the rest of the Board of Directors are here to help you! Feel free to peruse the resources on the NSNA website, particularly the treasurer’s handbook and non-profit status and tax information.
