Since 2003, the Washington State Genealogical Society has recognized almost 500 outstanding volunteers and teams, nominated by their local society or genealogical organization for their service and dedication. These volunteers are the backbone of their local society, giving their time and expertise, to the organization and the field of genealogy. In the coming months, you will be introduced to each of the 2016 award recipients and learn why they received a 2016 WSGS Outstanding Volunteer and Team Award.

Today we’re introducing the Finance Team that was nominated by the Clark County Genealogical Society (CCGS). This talented team was selected for its diligence in maintaining the financial health of the CCGS. Team members include Lowell Kenedy, Barbara Baker, Larry Germann and Eric Jordahl.

Clark County GS’s Finance Team

All non-profit organizations rely on fiscal responsibility. This team’s firm hand on the financial tiller underpinned the local society’s financial well-being.

The team’s solid reporting and astute projections made it possible for CCGS to survive and thrive, enabling the society to meet its stated goals of collection, education, and preservation.

The team has been vital to the society’s past and future success and richly deserve being recipients of a 2016 Outstanding Volunteer Team by the Washington State Genealogical Society.
