What is one key responsibility of a Chapter Treasurer?

• A. To organize all social events for the chapter.
• B. To prepare the annual report to the national organization.
• C. To manage chapter funds and keep financial records.
• D. To maintain the chapter's equipment inventory.

Answer: (C)

The central idea here is financial management within the chapter role. The key duty is to manage chapter funds and keep financial records. This means handling income and expenses, making deposits and payments, maintaining ledgers, reconciling bank statements, and preparing financial reports and budgets for the chapter (and as required, for the national organization). This directly reflects the treasurer’s responsibility to provide accurate, transparent stewardship of the chapter’s money and financial health.

Organizing social events is typically the job of an events or activities coordinator. Maintaining the equipment inventory falls to a property or equipment manager. While a treasurer may contribute to the annual report, the core responsibility that defines the position is overseeing finances and keeping precise records.
