BOARD FINANCE OFFICER

one or two staff members in Treasury whose sole duty is handling the finance emergency, the creditors, the refunds and repayments. Put up a sign "Board Finance Officer" with another sign or two around pointing to that office-"Board Finance Officer. All finance matters." Give them a phone with a number. Give everyone else on staff that number as the finance number so they at once direct any callers to it. Instruct Dir. Comm where to put all such mail-to the Board Finance Officer. And let the rest of staff get on with it. People put on the finance special post only handle the subjects of finance emergency. They do not handle all finance hats and lines in the org.
