Volunteer Opportunities - Treasurer and Fundraising Chair
The club has 2 critical areas where volunteers are needed.These are essential roles for the club.
Treasurer - Our amazing Treasurer Kylee Stanton Hicks has spent several years in the role and would like to take on a new role. We need a club member to step up to the Treasurer role. The Treasurer manages and keep records of cash flow and bills, provides financial reports at the monthly board meetings, and works closely with the bookkeeper. The BISC Treasurer will need to join the BISC Board of Directors. Please consider this volunteer role. If interested contact Kylee at BISCTreasurer98110@gmail.com
Fundraising Chair - As a non-profit we have the ability to raise tax deductible funds for improvements to the club. Do you have experience in non-profit fundraising? We are in need of direction and guidance on how to best utilize our non-profit status. The club needs your help! Please reach out to MelissaDavis98110@gmail.com if you are available to take on this role.
