The Finance Team at International Volunteers for Peace (IVP) is entering a new chapter, marked by changes in personnel and renewed responsibilities across its financial operations.
Rex Mayer’s departure from the Finance Team in July marks the end of his involvement in IVP’s financial administration. His departure provides an opportunity to recognise the importance of continuity, reliable financial processes and the people who support the organisation’s work behind the scenes.
Joining the team is Neo Gerona, who takes on the role of Finance Officer. Neo joined the team in June and brings a background in finance, bookkeeping and accounting systems, with an interest in improving financial reporting, maintaining accurate records and supporting sound financial management. His appointment will contribute to the ongoing work of maintaining IVP’s financial records and supporting the organisation’s operational needs.
The team’s leadership has also changed following Fernando da Costa’s departure earlier this year. Yang Fan joined IVP in July as its newest Treasurer, taking on an important role in overseeing the organisation’s finances and leading financial accountability.
As a not-for-profit organisation, IVP relies on effective financial administration and responsible stewardship of its resources to support its activities. Clear records, consistent reporting and appropriate financial oversight help the organisation manage its funds and maintain confidence among its members, volunteers and stakeholders.
These changes represent a transition for IVP, bringing new personnel into roles that support the organisation’s ongoing work. As Neo Gerona and Yang Fan settle into their respective responsibilities, the team will continue working to maintain sound financial practices and support IVP’s mission of promoting peace, international cooperation and community engagement through volunteering.
IVP acknowledges the changes within its Finance Team and looks ahead to the next chapter with a focus on continuity, accountability and effective management.
