Background:

Due to the resignation of Treasurer Jan van Run at the upcoming Executive Committee, there will be a vacancy for this position in the IFLRY Bureau. An Extraordinary General Assembly has been called by the Bureau in which this vacancy can be filled through elections. This EGA will take place during the previously announced Executive Committee meeting in St. Petersburg, Russia, from the 6th to the 8th of August. At elections, all Full Members who have paid their membership fees have the right to vote on a candidate. More information on the EC and EGA HERE.

Description:

The Treasurer is a central player in the IFLRY Bureau and takes care for the financial health of the organization and its projects. S/He is responsible for the oversight on all the financial transactions and leads the planning and execution of the fundraising strategy. Furthermore, the Treasurer manages grant searches, applications and reporting and supports the various teams in organizing events.

While the Treasurer has a specific role description in the Bureau, s/he works closely together with the IFLRY Office, the Auditors and other Bureau Members. Moreover, the Treasurer may take several additional responsibilities in the Bureau, equal to other Bureau Members.

Some important qualities for a Treasurer are:
- Affinity with working with budgets and accounting sheets;
- Strong sense of responsibility;
- Sufficient amount of time available (min. 8 hours a week);

All Bureau positions are voluntary. Financial coverage is provided for essential events like Executive Committees, General Assemblies and auditor meetings. The person elected will be in office until the next general elections at the General Assembly in November/December 2011.

Procedure:

Only official representatives (President, Secretary General, International Officer, etc.) of Full Members of the International Federation of Liberal Youth can nominate candidates for the elections. In case of vacancies in between regular elections, nominations can be received up to the start of the agenda item 'Bureau elections' of the Extraordinary General Assembly. The candidate will have to be present at the EGA in order to present her/his nomination. Candidates are also strongly encouraged to depart from St Petersburg not earlier than Monday the 9th of August at noon, in order to take part in the post-EC Bureau meeting, if elected.
