Answer: (B)

The Treasurer’s duties center on financial management and stewardship for the SLC. This means keeping accurate financial records (ledgers), tracking all income and expenses, and maintaining a budget that guides the chapter’s activities. The Treasurer also prepares and presents financial reports to the group, so members can see the organization’s financial health. Ongoing monitoring of income and expenses helps ensure the chapter stays within budget and can plan for future events. Finally, ensuring compliance with nonprofit requirements covers necessary filings, reporting, and internal controls to ensure funds are used appropriately and legally.

Duties like recording minutes, maintaining attendance and rosters, handling correspondence, and managing bylaws and notices belong to the Secretary. Publicizing activities, handling press and social media, and newsletters fall under Public Relations. Documenting the chapter’s history, archives, and yearbooks are tasks for the Historian or Archivist.
