Description

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!)
