Management Committee Roles

The Chair

The Chair is the public face of the elected committee, representing the Pre-School where necessary at public events and sometimes at meetings of other organisations. They take charge at committee meetings, act as the Pre-School supervisor's line manager and supports and authorises the work of the treasurer, checking (at least monthly) that the money banked corresponds with the amounts signed for on original documents. A more detailed breakdown of the Chair's roles can be found here.

Secretary

The Secretary deals with the group’s official paperwork (except for accounts). They draw up and circulate agendas (in consultation with chair), arranges venues for meetings and keep proper records (minutes) of meetings. A more detailed breakdown of the Secreatary's roles can be found here.

Treasurer

The Treasurer prepares receipts and the payments budget for the year, divided into manageable time-spans such as months or terms. They maintain the bank account, manage petty cash, arrange for fee collection and pay staff wages and volunteer expenses. They work closely with the Pre-School financial administrator.
