Biographical/Historical note
The NEA’s Accounts division has its origins in the Division of Records and Accounts was established in 1917—one of the first divisions to be established. By 1945, the work load of the division was so great its two parts were split into their own divisions: the Division of Accounts and the Division of Records. The Division of Accounts represents the Treasurer of the NEA whose job is defined as managing all incoming and outgoing organization monies. The account division handles money entering the general fund as well as going to specific projects such as the Building Fund.
