Task #1: Ensure that the local MC presidents and councils are aware of the national MC resources and activities. Jane directed us in committing to contacting each local council. Existing relationship with the local president or senator takes priority for volunteering to contact the local council.
Members divided the list as noted below:
Jane: RI, VT, MI, Central, Mid-American (5)
Joan: CT, Washington DC, South (3)
Carl: Maine
Mar: MA, Philadelphia
Bill: Metro NY, Rochester/Genessee, Dakotas (4)
Roger: Great Rivers, IN, WI, Rocky Mountains (4)
Jerry: Cleveland, Ohio (2)
Angela: Evergreen, Greater Bay, Los Angeles (3)
Some presidents are here as Senators and are reliable to communicate to their regions: Oregon, Nebraska, and New Jersey
Task#2: Write, or delegate another to write, an article for the online manual on building a mutually supportive nurturing relationship between MCs and executives.
Doug will contact Sam Chetti, James McJunkin, Larry Greenfield
Task #3: How do local councils relate to national councils? What activities constitute that relationship? Using notes from meeting and other resources, Angela will write the information for the online manual.
Activities for task #4:
Jane will draft the letter. Communication to pastors will include information about the TIM groups (with an offer to send the MINISTER publication about the TIM groups), the ‘How to Connect’ to MC cards, the updated website including the online manual, and the upcoming New Baptist Covenant event in 2008.
Clergy of Metro NY region will receive it directly.
Joan will talk again with Carl Davis, asking whether committee should send his colleagues this letter directly.
Roger will contact the president of IN/KY region, asking whether committee should send his colleagues this letter directly.
Funding for the mailing will need to be secured. Jane will talk with Kate about what’s in our budget—depending on result, this might mean the letters are sent by email.
