Volunteer Board Treasurer Wanted

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!)
