> I decided it was simpler to pay the fee myself, rather than bothering Ben Holland (Treasurer for the Center) to have the Center pay the fee.
But what does Ben Holland say?
Yes, it is very sloppy to say the least. I recently completed a two-year term as the treasurer for a non-profit professional association, and I would have been highly peeved had one of the other board members gone ahead and done this without first "bothering" me.
It is the treasurer's job to make sure essential payments are made and recorded on the books. Also, while my org does both make and receive payments electronically, we also have highly fraud-resistant business-style checks (watermarks etc) for times when check payments were easiest or required.
