As a not-for-profit organization, it is critical to have a good Board Treasurer and Finance Committee because they implement internal controls and best practices that maximize the output of services and guarantee public dollars are spent appropriately. The support of good a Treasurer and Finance Committee also guarantees top notch financial statements which are key for submitting grant applications and ensuring the organization follows state and federal statutes to maintain its 501(c)-3 status. Without proper internal controls and accounting and procedural policies, organizations would be unable to secure appropriate funds to execute their mission.

Bowers encourages all team members to take VTO or Volunteer Time Off, which staff can utilize to spend “working hours” volunteering and engaging in community activities. This time can be used for existing personal volunteer commitments or to participate in Firm organized volunteer activities coordinated to provide younger staff more exposure to the needs within the community.
