The admin team consists of the staff that runs the daily administrative side of De Sering and TestTafel. We answer email, phone calls, facilitate events, process payments, pay the taxes and do many other tasks that come with an organisation the size of De Sering and TestTafel. 

Every monday the admin team meets between 14:00 and 15:30. During this meeting we will go through the tasks and projects the admin team is working on, and see who needs help with their to-do lists. Depending on the week and the amount of time we have we will also look deeper into a subject the admin team need to organise further (For example, catering pricing, the handling of invoices, enz).

If you are interested in what the admin team is working on then you are hereby invited to attend! Depending on the amount of time we have and how much time is needed to offerbasic support of individual admin team members the floor might be open to participation by volunteers and staff as well. 

The meeting structure of the admin meeting is under active development, so keep in mind it may change from week to week.

Doing the finances of De Sering and TestTafel is a lot of work. Especially because our goal is that our finances are fully transparent and insightful for all of us. The admin team is completely overloaded with work, and won't be able to bring the organisation of our finances the level required. I (Daan) therefore need your help!

Every Monday between 18:00 and 20:00 we will get together at De Sering office to work on our finances. To be able to help out no experience in finances or accounting is required. It helps if you are comfortable with excel. Dinner and a shift drink are included!

Come to the very first meeting on monday the 12th of january!
