The Annual Conference of Treasurers meets each year so that Friends involved in financial activities can get together to share problems and solutions, exchange ideas, make new contacts, hear about current issues and gain a better understanding of the financial position the Society.
The Annual Conference of Treasurers is your chance to meet other treasurers: to support them and be supported by them; to learn from others and to share your own insights. Treasurers and other meeting officers of all levels of experience find conference both rewarding and uplifting.
This exercise, more like a game, was devised by Ursula Fuller of Canterbury LM. The way she used it is described in Treasurers’ News 10. It can be enjoyed by all members of the meeting together – especially if the discussion is over a ‘free’ or shared lunch.
To use it you need two documents. They are available in PDF from these links.
