Looking for an Executive Board member to serve as Treasurer

Hey Smooth Jazz Members, Becky Berg resigned from the Board of Directors as Treasurer due to a heavy workload and other commitments.

The Treasurer Job Description is as follows:

· Manages finances of the organization
· Administrates fiscal matters of the organization
· Provides annual budget to the board for members’ approval
· Ensures development and board review of financial policies and procedures

Hello Smooth Jazz Friends:

First of all, I’d like to thank all of you for attending Smooth Jazz Thursdays and Smooth Jazz events. I would like to especially thank you for your loyalty. Over the last 3 years our society has grown to 2400 (non paying) members. Recently, our founder, Mr. Dave Nabity stepped down as President as he is deeply involved in political activities in the city of Omaha. Many of you know me as the “Smooth Jazz Lady” and I have served as the Society’s Vice President and Marketing Chair for 3 years. I am honored to be your new President.
