The experiences of other organizations I've been in have led me to believe
that having the same person serve as treasurer for too long can cause
problems.  Unless you have someone else reviewing the books any errors or
quirks in their accounting method can snowball and result in a big mess
eventually.

I have the utmost confidence in our current treasurer, but relying too
heavily on any one person is a recipie for disaster.
