Major Components
The major components of the Initiative create structure and processes by which the existing auxiliaries, boards, ministries, commissions and independently incorporated entities of the Convention can communicate, coordinate and collaborate on their activities to
-
achieve the best use of our resources,
-
decrease redundancy and working at cross-purposes, and overall
-
improve our service to our members and other constituencies.
The Councils
We are implementing a council structure that will include representation from the various entities of the Convention, and serve as the platform from which we may communicate and discuss our plans, coordinate our work and collaborate with one another on activities of similar concern.
