Treasurer
As ‘Bean-Counter’, I keep track of the revenue/expenses of our Victoria FCA Chapter.   I have been in this position since 2017, following Mary Conley who served for many years before me.  I record any money we receive for memberships, workshops and exhibition fees and send receipts as money comes in.  I balance bank accounts, keep the Board of Directors updated and pay close attention to the bottom line.  I pay the occasional bills that arrive and issue cheques related to exhibitions, workshops, meetings or the general administration of our Chapter.  

Membership Coordinator
The Membership Coordinator position goes hand-in-hand with the Treasurer position.  As membership fees come in or new members join, I update the Membership list and send the contact info to the Social Media/Web Manager to update the website and to the MailChimp Manager to update email lists.  I welcome new members as they join our Chapter and explain procedures to new members trying to navigate the FCA requirements if needed.  Once a year I send our list to Vancouver FCA for reconciliation.

About the Board
Serving on the Board is a great way to get to know the movers and shakers of the Chapter.  I feel that being part of the Board has also made me a better painter, being surrounded by such a fun bunch of talented artists sharing ideas and inspiration, motivating me to get to work!
Email me at barb.sapergia@shaw.ca if you have any questions.  If I don’t know the answer, I have an entire Board of good people to ask.
