A secretary-treasurer is a key position in organizations, combining the roles of a secretary and a treasurer. The secretary is responsible for maintaining records, managing correspondence, and organizing meetings, while the treasurer oversees the financial aspects, including budgeting, accounting, and reporting on the organization's financial status. This dual role is common in smaller organizations, such as clubs or non-profits, where resources may be limited. The secretary-treasurer ensures that both administrative and financial tasks are handled efficiently, contributing to the overall success and transparency of the organization.
