But not 100% sure. Also, people are saying if we get 501c3 that won't be an issue.<br>* Do we have a transparent sheet listing where all the money goes? Not really but we can mine the meeting notes. It's pretty much just omni shared expenses + internet.<br>* Anca's done stuff before. Mentions quickbooks.<br>* Matt points out membership roles: exchequer. separate from the state-mandated role. they should be doing the work.<br>* To be very clear, our values don't call for a powerful treasurer position. This is just something the state requires us to do.
