Launch Phase Objectives Leadership: Recruit and onboard Program Director, teachers, and volunteers Location: Research, secure and prepare facility and transportation Logistics: Coordinate details and maintain positive communications with the school Loot: Spearhead the fundraising effort Language: Ensure all public communications are excellent and contain proper messaging Live Program Objectives Provide input and direction to the Program Director as he/she manages the day-to-day operations of the program Ensure fundraising efforts continue and the health of the program is achieved and maintained Group Makeup The Leadership Board should include: No fewer than three members and no more than nine Representation of the entire Christian community: various churches, ages, professions, genders, races, etc. One member is responsible for each of the 5 L's: Leadership, Location, Logistics, Loot, and Language. Individual board members may be responsible for more than one L. Member Responsibilities Every member is asked to: Complete Board Member role-specific training Complete a child safety training once every 3 years Be diligent in executing the T-Minus Plan prior to launch Actively participate in the fundraising process Be faithful in attending scheduled meetings Commit to a minimum of one year of service Be consistent in prayer for the local program Member Qualifications Every member should have a proven track record of exemplifying the two LifeWise Core Values: COMMITMENT - Members have their hearts in the right place. They are motivated by their love for the Lord and are all in. They are fully supportive of the gospel-centered purposes of a local LifeWise program. COMPETENCE - Members have the know-how, skills, and relationships to get stuff done. Note: Each member must provide the contact info of a local church leader in which he/she is an active participant. While we recognize that there are sometimes legitimate reasons to be "between churches," LifeWise is fundamentally a local church-driven ministry and it is, therefore, important for Leadership Board members to represent local churches.
