James Danckert

Role Description: 

The role of the Treasurer is to make recommendations to the Board and to the membership on the use of FAUW funds for all expenditures. The Treasurer may make specific decisions on Board-approved purchases as requested in accordance with FAUW policies.

As a FAUW Director, you will contribute to and consider matters before the FAUW Board of Directors, to support the Board in collective decision-making – directors are decision contributors and decision supporters. The Board oversees all FAUW functions, including policy development, salary negotiations, the protection of member rights, and events and services for members. Directors have a duty to act in the best interests of FAUW as an organization and of the membership it represents. View the expected duties.

Board members must always be aware of their responsibilities as representatives of FAUW in their communications and actions, and do not individually make decisions on behalf of FAUW.
