Annual Conference of Treasurers: Money and Ministry
17 - 19 June 2016, Derbyshire
What is Quaker money for? This conference for treasurers and other holders of financial roles in area and local meetings is a chance to step back and look at how meetings can use their money to further their witness or ministry.
It is also a chance to meet fellow treasurers who are getting to grips with similar issues. The role of treasurer can sometimes seem a lonely one. This conference is a chance to recharge your spiritual batteries.
Area meetings are encouraged to appoint and pay for those with financial roles to attend this event.
