THE NRG NEEDS A TREASURER
Jeff Sillick has been the Treasurer for the NRG since 2010. He will be retiring from the position in the near future, allowing him to explore other interests. The Board is sorry to see him go and we appreciate the eleven years that he has dedicated to the position.
The Board is looking for an NRG member to replace Jeff. This individual does not need to be an accountant but should have some basic accounting/finance/small business skills. Jeff has agreed to work with his replacement, so there will be expert guidance during the transition to the new Treasurer.
A detailed job description for the Treasurer position is available and we will be happy to send it to any member interested in the position. Interested members should send an email to the office at nrghomeoffice@gmail.com.
We (and Jeff) are hoping to fill the position by mid-March 2020. There is an honorarium associated with this position. Due to federal banking regulations, this position must be filled by a US resident.
