President or not, I personally do not believe that any one person should be making decisions on his/her own. Although I understand that the bank change would be a convenience for you, would there be any costs incurred in switching over (i.e. bank checks, bank deposit stamp)? Suggestions/ideas are always welcome but should be brought to the board meetings to be decided on as a whole.
As PTO treasurer, I'm looking into changing the bank for our account. Our president told me to just "go ahead and do it" but I think that the executive board should be informed first. There aren't any issues with the current bank - it is a 15 minute drive for me and the new one is around the corner.
When can a decision like this be made by the president and when should the board be given a chance to provide input?
