=== Update Signing Authorities for Financial Accounts - Sarah R. (2 min)===
* Update signing authorities for Bike Edmonton's financial accounts. Note that historically Bike Edmonton signing authorities have been members of the Executive, however, signing authority is not restricted to only those on the Executive. Any director may serve as a signing officer.
* An important consideration in appointing signing officers is, among other things, ensuring that they are capable and competent to manage financial matters, especially payments, in a timely manner.
* Important Considerations for Signing Authorities:
** Signing authorities should be reviewing any and all payments they are signing off on to ensure that all payments are legitimate
** If the expense payment is to one of the signing authorities that person cannot authorize payments to themselves
