Treasurer

Will you be our new treasurer?

Who are we?

We are the voluntary board of the Foundation for Historic Vegetable Gardens Landgoed Amelisweerd. We ensure that the two historic vegetable gardens on the estate (Amelis'Hof near Oud Amelisweerd and Volle Grond near Nieuw Amelisweerd) are leased to horticulturalists, who cultivate the gardens organically. We ensure that this is done with an eye for the history of the place, biologically and with the help of volunteers. See further our site.

What are we looking for?

Our board consists of 7 driven people. We all have a thing for gardening/green/nature and are very fond of the Amelisweerd estate. We shape the board based on that passion. There are a number of permanent tasks (chairman, secretary and treasurer), but we also have a number of board members with specific knowledge, such as a lawyer, a former entrepreneur and a communication/media specialist. We are now looking for a treasurer. The treasurer must of course be able to perform a number of financial matters flawlessly. This includes drawing up the budget and annual accounts of the foundation, making payments and keeping the accounts up to date. But we look for something more in you. Someone who is a specialist in the field of finance within the board. Think, for example, of knowledge about the tax authorities and legislation in that area. But also how the collection of the lease works and how it is established. Knowledge about buildings and the like is also necessary to be able to advise the horticulturists properly. All this in order to be a good discussion partner for governments and other bodies as a board.

What does it cost?

We have an evening meeting 4 times a year. In addition, you do the above-mentioned things, such as preparing the annual accounts, making payments, thinking along and advising, etc. All in all, this will cost you an average of 2 to 3 hours per month.

What do you get in return?

It is a voluntary position, but you get a lot in return: enthusiastic board that puts its weight behind it together with you, passionate gardeners with a heart for the gardens, a good feeling and a fantastic green spot near Utrecht.
