Volunteer: Volunteer Board Treasurer Wanted – Help Us Balance the Books (and Eat Cookies)

Volunteer Board Treasurer Wanted – Help Us Balance the Books (and Eat Cookies)

The Brain Injury Association of Nebraska (BIA-NE) is on the hunt for a detail-loving, budget-balancing, mission-driven individual to serve as our Volunteer Board Treasurer. If you enjoy a good spreadsheet, believe in community impact, and appreciate a perfectly baked cookie—keep reading.


Who Is The Brain Injury Association of Nebraska?

We’re Nebraska’s only statewide nonprofit solely focused on brain injury support. BIA-NE helps survivors and their families navigate life after brain injury through resource facilitation, peer mentoring, education, and advocacy. And we do it all with compassion, creativity, and a little hustle.


Our mission is simple but powerful: To create a better future for all Nebraskans affected by brain injury.


We’re a small but mighty team that values collaboration, common sense, and showing up with heart. Our board reflects that energy - and we’d love to bring someone on who shares it. And we believe kindness, transparency, and snacks make every board meeting better!


What You’ll Do (besides eat cookies!):

Provide financial oversight to support mission-driven decisions

Review monthly financial reports (we promise they’re not scary)

Partner with staff to develop budgets and financial policies

Lead the finance committee and advise the board on nonprofit best practices

Translate financials into plain English for fellow board members

Keep an eye out for trends, red flags, and ways to strengthen our impact

What We’re Looking For:

Background in accounting, finance, or budgeting (CPA not required, but we’ll still be impressed)

Experience with nonprofit financials or QuickBooks is a plus

Able to commit 2–3 hours per month

Someone who’s thoughtful, thorough, and not afraid to ask “Wait—why are we doing it that way?”

Appreciation for homemade cookies (the Executive Director bakes… it’s kind of her thing!)

Learn More About the Role

Let’s Talk

If you’re curious or ready to raise your hand, email Peggy Reisher, Executive Director of the Brain Injury Association of Nebraska, at peggy@biane.org. We’d love to hear from you—and maybe save you a cookie.
