One of the most difficult things for volunteer treasurers and board members to learn when they first begin service to their NFP is learning and understanding the basic roles and responsibilities related to their position. In addition to these requirements, there are a host of other duties that administrators, treasurers, other board members, staff and even volunteers might need to learn about in order to be able to fulfill their role within the NFP.
