Appointment of External Auditors

Members approved Erie and Associates CPA as the Club’s external auditor for the 2026–2027 Rotary year.

The appointment is for one year and may be renewed annually up to a maximum of three years, subject to satisfactory performance. Treasurer Rose confirmed that the necessary verification procedures had been completed.
