These local treasurer training videos serve as an accompaniment to the Financial Procedures Handbook in order to help you develop a budget for your local. They will help you determine what to put into it, who to ask if you have questions and they will provide general guidelines for the budget process.
Randy Welch, IEA director of business services, will guide you through the overall procedures. Then three local treasurers will give you tips about what they do in their locals. We hope this will help you in your work as a local treasurer, president or any other position you might have. If you’re a member, the tutorial can help you understand the budgeting process and help you make sure your dues money is being handled correctly.
