I'm the treasurer of this chapter as of the February 2013 chapter board meeting and I'm figuring out here.

* Each month I'm to send a report to the board on the chapter's cash position, and a report from the [[Committees#Fundraising Committee|Fundraising committee]], and a report from our [[Committees#Grants|Grants-giving committee]]. The summary becomes public after Board approval, which is routine each month.
* As chair of grant cmte I shall give feedback on grant applications to the president, then for approved grants I'm to work out with the applicant how and when the money is transferred (see http://wikimediadc.org/wiki/Grants_policy, Articles IV and V).
* Our cash position is stable and improving.  We can host routine events and we have an important grant application in to the Wikimedia Foundation; with that we can hold a big event too.  Members are joining at a good clip, and we need more.
* Accounting standards:  We're to follow GAAP.
* Note of interest: It is conceivable that Wiki DC could get a federal contract ; e.g. for a Wikimedian in residence or a NARA project.  These are longshots.
