BE A PART OF REVIVING AND MAKING HISTORY!
LITTLE ITALY SAN JOSE NEEDS SOME KEY POSITIONS FILLED

For our Board –
Treasurer – The Treasurer will be the officer assigned the primary responsibility of overseeing the management and reporting of an LISJ's finances. The Treasurer may have many important duties specific to its role, including:
Bank account maintenance

Financial transaction oversight – Being knowledgeable about who has access to the organization's funds, and any outstanding bills or debts owed, as well as developing systems for keeping cash flow manageable
Budgets – Developing the annual budget as well as comparing the actual revenues and expenses incurred against the budget

Financial Policies – Overseeing the development and observation of the organization's financial policies
Reports – Keeping the board regularly informed of key financial events, trends, concerns, and assessment of fiscal health in addition to completing required financial reporting forms in a timely fashion and making these forms available to the board

The Treasurer is largely influential and greatly affects the public's perception, trust, and assurance in the organization management. We are seeking someone with financial literacy, attention to detail, timeliness in completing tasks, neat and accurate record keeping, and a willingness to ask questions.
The Treasurer will need to make sure there are open and constant lines of communication between the Treasurer and board of directors about sound financial policies/procedures and budget oversight

Secretary – The secretary position of a non-profit organization plays a critical role in fostering communication and diligence through proper management and utilization of important records such as meeting minutes and the organization's bylaws.

He or she will be an active conduit for communication by giving proper notice of any meetings and timely distribution of materials such as agendas and meeting minutes. Additionally, the secretary should be knowledgeable of the organization's records and related materials, providing advice and resources to the board on topics.

As the custodian of the organization's records, the secretary is responsible for maintaining accurate documentation and meeting any legal requirements such as annual filing deadlines. The secretary is responsible for reviewing and updating documents as necessary and ensuring all documents are safely stored and readily accessible.

Event Chairs –
Little Italy San Jose wants to promote the authentic traditions of Italians by bringing a multitude of events to San Jose. Italians have many Saint days and Feasst to celebrate.
