Class reunion field guide
The Reunion Treasurer Role Guide
How the treasurer manages the reunion budget, payments, and refunds. A practical, decision-ready class reunion playbook with the next moves, common mistakes, and answers organizers need before they commit.
Quick answer
The treasurer opens a dedicated account, tracks every dollar in and out, and sets a ticket price that covers the venue, food, and a safety buffer. Keep transparent records and a clear refund policy so trust holds and the committee is never left covering a shortfall personally.

Start planning freeThe decision that makes the reunion treasurer role guide easier
How the treasurer manages the reunion budget, payments, and refunds. Start with a written decision, an owner, and a date for the next checkpoint. That turns a vague committee conversation into a plan people can follow and lets you explain the why to every guest.
- Open a separate reunion bank account and use one online payment platform.
- Build the ticket price from a real budget with a cushion for no-shows.
- Keep a shared ledger and publish a simple final accounting after the event.
What experienced organizers avoid
Most reunion stress comes from making promises before the constraints are clear. Protect the guest experience by surfacing the tradeoffs early, documenting the decision, and giving people one reliable place to find the latest answer.
- Do not run reunion money through a personal account; it destroys trust.
- Do not price tickets without a buffer for cancellations and surprise costs.
- Do not skip a written refund policy; ambiguity breeds conflict.
Turn the decision into a shared plan
Use one shared source of truth for the people, money, timing, and messages behind this decision. The organizer should not be the only person who knows what was agreed or what happens next.
- Assign one owner and one backup for the next action.
- Put the deadline and the decision in the guest-facing update.
- Review the result after the reunion so next time starts smarter.
Frequently asked questions
When should we decide the reunion treasurer role guide?
Decide it before you ask guests to commit to a date, price, or travel plan. If it affects cost or attendance, make it one of the first three organizer decisions.
Who should own this decision?
Choose one accountable organizer, then ask the people affected by the decision for input before the deadline. Consensus is useful; an unowned decision is not.
How should we communicate the final plan?
Send a short update with the decision, what guests need to do, and a single place to check details. Repeat it at the RSVP deadline and in the final week.
