Wells Fargo Umbrella
If a RT uses Wells Fargo but not under the CSCMP umbrella, contact Shital Patel ([email protected]) to provide account visibility to Paul Blair.
Activity Report
Assist Secretary with submitting complete event registration list (with walk-ins) to RTSC within 3 business days of event.
Send to Denise Rivers, [email protected]
It is the Secretary's responsibility to complete an Activity Report for each event (which is on the Roundtable Officer Resources page) and the VP of Membership's responsibility to submit each event's full list of attendees (including walk-ins). However, the Treasurer often plays a supporting role to the Secretary and VP of Membership in completing these tasks.
Quarterly Financial Report
• No longer required for US RT’s since bank acct. visibility provided to RTSC.
• Still needed from non-US roundtables.
• RT president submits the report online by the 15th of the month following the end of each quarter.
• Report should reflect the cash balance, not necessarily the bank account balance.
