Board of Directors - Treasurer

Regenesis Centre for Recovery is a 2SLGBTQ+ recovery program in Winnipeg, MB. Our mission is to acknowledge the role of oppression based on identity and its effect on addiction and mental health. By increasing accessibility of trauma-informed care through evidence-based practice, we aim to cater our program to those who have historically been under-resourced in these areas of healthcare. Our mandate is to cultivate a lifelong relationship of positive support and community involvement with each of our clients.

About the role

We are seeking a Treasurer to join the Board of Directors for our nonprofit live-in recovery facility. Our vision is to provide care based on four unique pillars:

• Prioritize the inclusion of traditionally marginalized groups such as women and non-binary individuals from the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, with intake priority given to those also self-identifying as members of the BIPOC and/or disabled communities.
• Serve as an extension to existing addictions care by providing a more gradual transition between traditional primary treatment and independent community living.
• Work with various pre-existing organizations by emphasizing and encouraging the development of extensive and external positive support networks specifically tailored to individual wants and needs.
• Provide comprehensive outreach support free of charge to all graduates of the program as well as group meetings and activities to all clients who exit the program for the purpose of building a lifelong supportive relationship.

Responsibilities

• Participate in executive board meetings prior to general board meetings.
• Maintain oversight of the organization's finances, including budgets, accounts, and financial reports.
• Prepare and present financial statements to the board, ensuring transparency and accuracy.
• Work with staff or volunteers responsible for bookkeeping to ensure timely and accurate record-keeping.
• Develop and monitor the organization's annual budget, providing guidance on financial planning and sustainability.
• Ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, such as tax filings and audits.
• Advise the board on financial decisions, including fundraising, grant applications, and risk management when needed.

Requirements

• Accounting and financial experience and training.
• Ability to attend monthly evening meetings, usually virtual with occasional in-person meetings required.
• Availability to join various committees as part of board duties, which may require varying time commitments.
• Must be 18 or older.
• Must pass a criminal record check and child abuse registry check (costs not reimbursed).
