**Management of Organizational Finances - La Raza is not a programming organization; therefore, the role of the Vice President of Finance is more supervisory and administrative when compared to financial officers of other organizations.  Our Vice President of Finance and Development should take a conservative approach to the organization's finances - accounting for every dollar that enters La Raza.  Additionally, the VP of Finance and Development should adhere to all fiscal policies and procedures established by the university, keep an account of all receipts and expenditures, allocate money when appropriate, and maintain an updated balance sheet.

**Organizational Development - The VP of Finance and Development is expected to coordinate with his/her team of assistants to produce fund raising opportunities for the organization.  Fundraising is important because it allows us to attend conferences and successfully host a retreat out of state.

**Recruiting Assistants - As an Executive Board Officer, it is your responsibility to recruit several assistants - preferably freshmen and sophomores.  La Raza places an emphasis on pulling each other up and passing the torch.  Assistants will not only give the next generation of Latino leaders at the University of Delaware a sense of ownership of the organization, but their insight and assistance will make your job much easier while simultaneously strengthening our organization and ensuring its healthy longevity.
