However, as with all service to the Faith, it may be done on a voluntary or part-voluntary basis also. The initial service period is two-years, subject to review at the end of the period.
Skills
The National Assembly is looking to appoint a person with good accounting knowledge, proficient in using Sage and also with strong Microsoft Office skills i.e. Excel, Word and Power Point.

Vafa Ram,
Treasurer
