Role description
The Finance Committee has the responsibility to check the financial administration that is done by the Treasurer. They check the receipts, reimbursement forms, financial report of the previous year and proposed budget of the upcoming year for mistakes. Now that we are independent legal body, it is important that the EYFDM has a Finance Committee to help in the professionalisation of our organisation.
Committee composition and duration of term
The committee will consist of three members – the EYFDM Treasurer and two other active EYFDM members. Aside from the Treasurer, the committee is selected during Council Meeting. The members will serve for a 2 year term, however should they be available for only one year, their nomination would still be considered.
Time investment
Being a member of the Finance Committee is an important but not very time-consuming role. Once a year the Finance Committee will receive all the financial documents from the Treasurer to be checked. Based on the feedback the Treasurer will make adjustments, and will then present the financial report to the Council Members during the Council meeting.
Contact
If you are interested in becoming a member of the Finance Committee or if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact Nadia.
Nominations
A person can nominate themselves, or can be nominated by another EYFDM Member, in which case the nominee will be asked if they wish to accept the nomination, and to provide proof of young doctor status if they wish to accept the nomination.
Nominations can be made by providing the name of the nominee by midnight on 6th May 2023.
In accordance with the WONCA Bylaws (Articles 12.6.3), this is a formal call by the Nominations and Awards Committee for nominations for the Young Doctors’ Representative for the biennium 2023-2025:
