Call for Volunteers: OHS Treasurer and Controller Positions Open

Help shape the future of the Ottawa Horticultural Society! We’re looking for two enthusiastic volunteers to join our leadership team as Treasurer and Controller. The OHS is seeking two dedicated volunteers to join our leadership team as Treasurer and Controller. These roles are essential to supporting the Society’s continued growth and the smooth running of our programs.

After several years of exceptional service, Rob Brandon is stepping back from the Treasurer role. To make the workload more manageable for future volunteers, the Board has divided the responsibilities into two complementary positions.

The Treasurer will guide the Society’s overall financial stewardship, including preparing budgets and financial reports. The Controller will manage day‑to‑day financial transactions and maintain our records in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Full position descriptions are available here: Treasurer and Controller.

We welcome volunteers with strong organizational and analytical skills. Experience with financial administration or basic bookkeeping, especially with accounting software such as QBO, is an asset. Training on QBO, along with mentoring and onboarding support, will be provided.

If you enjoy contributing your skills to a collaborative, supportive team, we would love to hear from you. Please send your application (with résumé) to president@ottawahort.org.
