Position title: Board Secretary & Board Treasurer
Secretary Position summary:
The Secretary is an officer of the corporation and a voting member of the board of directors. The role ensures the organization’s governance records are accurate, complete, and accessible — the foundation everything else rests on during our formation year.
Key responsibilities:
Record and maintain minutes of all board meetings
Maintain the corporate record book: articles of incorporation, bylaws, board resolutions, conflict-of-interest disclosures, and director rosters
Give notice of meetings as required by the bylaws; confirm quorum
Track state and federal filing deadlines (Statement of Information, charitable registration, annual reports) and prompt the board ahead of them
Certify corporate documents when required by banks, grantors, or government agencies
Serve on the board as a full voting director with the same fiduciary duties as all directors
Position title: Board Treasurer
Position summary:
The Treasurer is an officer of the corporation and a voting member of the board of directors. The role establishes NextMuster’s financial systems from scratch and gives the board the reporting it needs to govern responsibly. This is a build-it role, not a maintain-it role.
Key responsibilities:
Establish banking, bookkeeping, and basic internal controls appropriate to an organization our size
Oversee the annual budget; present financial reports at each board meeting in plain language
Monitor cash flow, expenditures, and compliance with board-approved spending
Ensure timely federal and state filings, including Form 990/990-N once we receive determination, and California Form 199 and RRF-1 as applicable
Help develop financial policies: expense reimbursement, check signing authority, conflict of interest, gift acceptance
Support the 501(c)(3) application by preparing required financial projections
Serve on the board as a full voting director with the same fiduciary duties as all directors
Qualifications:
Background in accounting, finance, bookkeeping, or nonprofit financial management; CPA or equivalent a strong plus
Familiarity with nonprofit accounting and IRS reporting requirements preferred, or willingness to learn them
Able to explain financial position clearly to a board without finance backgrounds
Comfortable setting up systems where none currently exist
Military-connected background welcome but not required
Time commitment: Approximately [4–6] hours per month, with additional time during setup and at fiscal year end.
