Camp Order No. 6

Reflecting General Order #10 from Commander-in-Chief Brad Schall dated January 6, 2011.

Regarding an opinion being rendered about a Camp Commander being able to simultaneously hold the office of
Commander & Treasurer
OR
Commander & Secretary/Treasurer.

Summary Opinion:
Given that the Camp/Department Commander must approve all expenditures by the Treasurer
(Chapter 1, Article VI Section 1 and Chapter 2, Article 5, Section 4)
it would create a conflict of interest for him to hold both (Commander, Treasurer)
or all three offices (Commander, Secretary-Treasurer).

Therefore a Commander cannot simultaneously serve as Treasurer or Secretary/Treasurer.

So Ordered this 8th of January, 2011.

Camp Order No. 7
