The Hub is a public space for both the Mt Victoria Community, the inner city, and the wider Wellington community. It is managed and operated by a Hub Co-ordinator (Mt Vic Hub Manager) and governed by the charitable New Crossways Trust (the Trust board). We primarily seek funding through Wellington City Council and DIA, and have comprehensive insurance for our board and the work our organisation does. The board currently meets bi-monthly on the second Wednesday of the month 7pm-8.30pm. As the Treasurer you will be a member of the Trust board and be responsible for safeguarding our finances. This role is estimated at an average of 4-6 hours per month. In addition to this: Furthered learning If you have never held a role on a board before, we will recommend enrolling in a community group governance course (approx 25hrs over 6 months) It is not enforced, but would appreciate our board members considering further learning of 5 hrs per year. We ask that board members attend community events from time to time and/or pop into the hub. The majority of our funding is on a three-year funding cycle. This means once every three years, you can expect an additional half-day planning meeting and 3-5 hours writing or reviewing applications. Account activities are typically 30-40 transactions per month, most of which are reoccurring payments.
