Mike Tarrant is the Treasurer of the Georgia Cancer Foundation.  Having been in finance all his career, he specialized very early on in the Healthcare industry.  Mike has broad experience of leading a key aspect of finance, that of financial planning.  He began his career as a “para-planner” learning the ropes from the ground up and except for one year at a bank, he has worked as a Financial Planner his entire career.  While this can be a role focused on the individual, it is also a key role for the corporation and for the CFO. 

In a career spanning 20 years, Mike has been affected by cancer and through his leadership, the Georgia Cancer Foundation has developed and grown.  However, in today’s climate, many non-profits today have suffered from a reduction in grants and government funding as well as a decrease in private donations, the Georgia Cancer Foundation being one of them.  Listen to the show about being the “Treasurer”–in other words–the CFO of a non-profit.
