West Coast Area is offering a series of 5 modules to help treasurers understand and thrive in their unit (or district) role. These sessions go beyond the basic information in the national e-module. We welcome new treasurers, experienced treasurers, and unit Guiders to these sessions. Take one, take a few, or take them all—it's your choice! Each module will be 60 minutes, live on Zoom, with plenty of opportunities to ask your specific questions.
