"This book is required reading for every chapter treasurer. It is a recommended read for many more, such as chapter consultants, chapter advisors, chapter presidents, and National officers."

"One of our organization's strategic initiatives is to give more guidance in professionally developing our undergraduates. The Treasurer's Guide is a well written explanation of how to administer the financial business of the chapter. The skills described in the book are transferable to the professional careers our undergraduates will soon pursue."

"As National Finance Coordinator giving individualized attention to each undergraduate was an impossible desire to fulfill. This is the book I wish I wrote, but am glad is in print! This book is like a training course--it is as close as we can get to giving a one-on-one consultation to each chapter treasurer."

"I was a chapter consultant previously unfamiliar, and quite honestly, uninterested, in the details of chapter finance. This book is the perfect reference for any Greek who needs a `treasurer course'."

"Other advisors are always asking why our chapter spends little time administering the business of the chapter, yet runs effectively and efficiently. I tell them one of the reasons is this book."

"As chapter president, I needed support when our treasurer was frustrated with the status of our chapter's finances. This book takes an overwhelming responsibility and breaks it into easy to manage tasks."

"When I was elected to treasurer of our chapter I knew that our finances were an undesirable situation. I did not realize the severity of the problem until my term began. The Treasuer's Guide helped as I was able to resolve the problems that I inherited. I will refer to this book on a regular basis."

"I have been involved in the financial management of other student organizations on campus. When I heard about this book, I was skeptical that it would be worth my time. As I skimmed through the book, I began to realize its value, and began reading. There is information in the book not found anywhere else! Every chapter treasurer must read this book!"

"My desire was to take on a leadership role in the chapter that employs my professional interests. As an accounting and finance major, I plan on running for treasurer of my chapter. Reading The Treasurer's Guide prepared me for the challenges and rewards of this responsibility. My understanding of the duties involved is more fully developed. This book explains what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. It will save me a lot of time during the busy school year."

"My daughter was recently elected to be the treasurer for her sorority at the local University she was attending. This book is vastly reducing her stress level."
