Thank you for your response as well, Mr. Lages. I brought the question here because my Asst Parliamentarian had the same idea about a record of the request being needed because the request was coming from one member. Your referring to "the assembly" instead of the one member addresses part of her concern. My thought was that it was not needed because the chapter doesn't dictate what was included in the report, the Treasurer agreed with no protest and no one else raised an objection to having the extra information there.

Thanks for your response. You are correct. The report is for information only, is not adopted or approved and the Treasurer agreed to maintain the tradition of sharing the summary ledger with the chapter as part of the report.

Greetings, I am a new Parliamentarian of a local chapter of national organization. We just started the year with newly elected officers. After our Treasurer gave her first report, one of the previous Treasurers asked why the report did not include the detailed summary of all of the transactions completed so that members had visibility to who made the transactions. The new Treasurer stated that the info was not something that our National body required to be shared as part of information reported to the chapter. The older Treasurer confirmed that it was something that had always been included and that would be good information to continue to share. The new Treasurer confirmed she fine with including it and meeting proceeded with no other member asking to comment on the subject. Was having this information added to the report something that required a vote by the membership? Our bylaws state that the Treasurer is to report the chapter's monthly income and disbursements so the summary ledger that the older Treasurer alluded to was additional information that was being shared.
