Treasurer Transition Update 8.29.2025
Dear OIAA Membership,
Our Treasurer, Jennifer B., has recently stepped down from the Board. During her time in service, Jennifer was an active member of the Finance Committee, served as Alternate Treasurer, and soon after accepted the Board appointed role of Treasurer. She continued to serve as OIAA Treasurer when the membership elected her in December of 2023. In this capacity, she worked tirelessly as a dedicated Board officer, establishing strong protocols and sound financial practices that will continue to guide us moving forward.
To ensure continuity during this transition, our current Alternate Treasurer, Felix E., will remain in place as our designated bookkeeper and maintain the procedures Jennifer established. The Board maintains oversight over all OIAA finances.
On Sunday, the Board met to develop a plan for actively managing the spiritual funds you and your groups have entrusted to OIAA. As part of this plan, the Board approved temporarily transferring ownership of the Mercury account to Mark M., Technology Officer. We also approved a motion directing Amelia L., OIAA Secretary, and Felix E., Alternate Treasurer, to obtain three bids from reputable accounting firms to provide professional support.
We are now seeking candidates to serve as Treasurer. The Treasurer’s responsibilities are found in the Bylaws Subsection 4.01(d): Treasurer.
Eligible candidates should currently be in service with OIAA; however, those not yet serving are welcome to join the Finance Committee to meet this requirement. The Finance Committee meets monthly on the 2nd Saturday of the month from 2:00 – 3:30pm EST. For more information, please see the Finance Committee webpage or attend the next Finance Committee meeting.
Thank you for your continued trust and support as we navigate this transition together.
In fellowship,
The OIAA Board
29-August 2025
