Guest Susan Posted April 25, 2018 at 05:08 PM Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 at 05:08 PM When a treasurer resigns from a 501c3 who do they turn the books over to? There is nothing in the by-laws of the organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted April 25, 2018 at 05:19 PM Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 at 05:19 PM Has the Treasurer already resigned? If not, he or she can ask the assembly who the books should be given to. If the resignation has already been accepted and there is no Assistant Treasurer (or an officer who reports to the Treasurer) I would say that the books should go to the Secretary because RONR p. 458 says the Secretary is the "custodian of its [the organization's] records, except those specifically assigned to others, such as the Treasurer's books." Since there is no Treasurer I think it is reasonable to argue the "custodian" of the organization's records should have custody of said records until there is someone to properly take possession of them.
