Dear SPA members,
We are looking for an organised and numerate volunteer who will take over as Treasurer of the Social Policy Association when the term of the current treasurer is coming to an end next year. The term of Treasurer is for three years and can be renewed once. It is preceded by spending around nine months shadowing the current Treasurer to ensure an effective handover. The SPA exec will appoint a Shadow Treasurer in September of this year who then gets confirmed by the membership at the Annual General Meeting in July 2015.
Please find the 'job' description of the Treasurer below and please feel free to contact Anne Brunton, the current treasurer if you have any questions. Her email address is as follows: [log in to unmask]
If you would like to apply to become Shadow Treasurer of the SPA, then please send a short application (no more than 1 page) outlining any relevant experience to myself at [log in to unmask] by Monday, the 1st of September.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Tina
