Consider Joining the HCGS BOARD
Officer Openings for 2024 - 2026
 
Hamilton County Genealogical Society will be holding elections for officers and directors this Spring. There are two positions open that we need to fill. If you reside in the area and are interested in contributing your time and energy to supporting and growing our society, we hope you willl consider one of these important positions on the HCGS Board of Directors. The term is for two years.
 
Treasurer
The treasurer receives all chapter monies, logs transactions, and makes deposits to the society checking account. This officer also pays all bills in a timely manner and keeps records of all transactions, following accepted accounting practices. Among other duties, the treasurer generates reports of income and expenses, proposes the yearly budget, maintains funds in the USPS bulk mailing account, and handles annual filings. Currently, the chapter uses QuickBooks as its accounting tool. We are currently reviewing options to use an outside service to handle some of the bookkeeping tasks. The treasurer must be responsible, efficient, detail oriented, trustworthy, proficient in creating and updating spreadsheets, and have good communication skills.
 
Corresponding Secretary
The corresponding secretary is responsible for communications to and from HCGS, through both postal mail and email. Among other duties, this officer picks up the mail weekly at the US Post Office in Lockland, opens and logs all mail and payments, distributes documents to other board members, and acknowledges questions and donations. The corresponding secretary must be responsible, efficient, detail oriented, trustworthy, proficient in creating and updating spreadsheets, and have good communication skills.
 
Both of the above roles are critical to our continued success and smooth operation as a society. Please consider volunteering your time. Contact HCGS at info@hcgsohio.org to learn more about serving the members of HCGS through one of these open officer positions.
