Robin Hood and The Admin Bandit

Have you ever wondered why we have taken Robin Hood as the inspiration behind our logo? While no one seems to know if Robin Hood was a real person or just a piece of folklore, we think that the way he took on the tough work for the sake of the many is very similar to the way a volunteer treasurer works.
Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men were the righters of wrongs and fighters against injustice. According to the story, his country was being ruled by a tyrant who kept all the money to himself. Yes, ok, the story says they robbed the rich and gave to the poor but in essence they took control of the funds and distributed them fairly. Robin Hood was the social conscience of his time.
Being a volunteer treasurer is not an easy job and it’s usually the last position on the committee to be filled. It takes a hero to accept the role and while you probably prefer not to swan around in green tights, you are still as much of a hero as Robin Hood.
You’ve taken on a mission to manage the funds for your organisation for the benefit of many. Together with your band of merry men, you are fighting for economic justice and to support a cause that matters to you.
So before you attend your next committee meeting, dust off your bow and arrows, put a feather in your cap and know that you are making as much of a difference to the world as Robin Hood.
