Conference Core Team Leadership UpdateDarlene Alfred

What Does the Core Team Do?The Core Team keeps the Annual conference

mission, vision, values and core strategies constantly in the forefront. It spearheads and coordinates long-range planning for

the CTC based on the direction given by the Annual Conference and monitors the

progress we are making in living into the expectations of the Exodus Project.

What Does the Core Team Do?The Core Team provides critical review, from a big picture perspective, on the alignment of budget, deployment of resources, major

policy issues and outcomes of the centers. It creates a culture of accountability against those outcomes and direction laid out by the Annual Conference and makes sure we are faithful to the current Book of Discipline.

What Does the Core Team Do?The Core Team identifies emerging missional needs and recommends deploying resources

to meet those needs. It may determine other needed task groups, such as: Annual Conference

planning, Personnel oversight and recommendations on changes to the CTC Guiding

Principals and Best Practices. It reviews and gives feedback to the Bishop and Executive

Directors about any matters they wish to process with the group.
