  • September Pre-meeting Conference Calls and Webinars

    Ms. Valentine led the Executive Committee in a review and discussion of the Mission Committee Go-to-Meeting/Conference Calls held before the September GAMC meetings.

    The Executive Committee also discussed the two pre-meeting webinars held in anticipation of the September GAC meetings. The full GAMC membership was invited to attend the webinars. One webinar presented information regarding funding for World Mission and the other presented an overview of the revisions to the Employee Handbook.

  • GAMC Executive Committee, September 23-25, 2010; Appendix 1

    GAMC Executive Committee Answers to Questions from the Advisory and Advocacy Committees Review Team

    1. How would you envision the General Assembly Mission Council (GAMC) further nurturing its relationship with the three advisory and advocacy committees? There is need for better communication. Building in regular interaction of the advisory and advocacy (A/A) committees with the GAMC might be helpful. One idea is that the A/A committees could bring their entire membership to a joint meeting of the GAMC every two years. Another idea is that one of the committees could have 15 minutes at each meeting on a rotating basis. Also, if we continue with the Go To Meeting model of examining GAMC committee work prior to our stated meetings, the A/A committees could give input to the chairs of those committees at that time. That way, if any concerns emerge, they could be explored and hopefully resolved prior to arrival at the GAMC meeting where there are strong time pressures and greater stress. 2. How is the GAMC’s work enhanced by its relationship with the Advocacy and Advisory Committees? The GAMC makes decisions that impact the various areas of concern represented by the A/A committees. The A/A committees input on the ramifications of decisions and their wealth of knowledge of how some dilemmas have been addressed in the past helps facilitate current GAMC decisions. Though the GAMC has a diverse membership, the A/A committees add an extra layer of focus to understanding the impact of GAMC actions and how they might be perceived. However, there is a concern that the role of the committees at GAMC should be understood as “advisory.” 3. How do you understand the lines of authority for the committees with regard to reporting, especially on the issue of staff oversight? How can those responsibilities be clarified and better expressed? The committees are entities of the General Assembly and answer to that body for the content of their work. The staffing for the committees is the responsibility of the Executive Director of the GAMC. Staff is accountable to the director. Due to the nature of the work the A/A committees do, there is need for consultation with committees in hiring key staff. Input from committees through staff performance reviews is critical as well. Some high level conversations about alternative staffing models may be appropriate as well. But when it comes to specific actions regarding staff, including termination, these are the purview of the Executive Director’s office in accordance with personnel policies. The A/A committees do not have a shared oversight role with the Executive Director in these matters. Personnel decisions are often complex matters that factor in confidential information. Confidential personnel information (positive or otherwise) cannot be compromised by including elected committee members in decisions about a staff person’s future. Therefore, while the GAMC will be in consultation to the degree feasible, there may be occasions where staff decisions are made without prior notification and without revelation of specifics.

    4. What is your vision for the future of the church and General Assembly mission work and how does advocacy (Advocacy Committee for Women’s Concerns and Advocacy Committee for Racial Ethnic Concerns) fit into this vision? Funding streams are in significant decline and our members are doing more mission at local levels that bypasses national offices. The vision of how mission will be done in the future is not clear. We are attempting to discern the answers and the A/A committees need to be partners in that journey. However, the A/A committees are frequently experienced as an obstacle rather than a partner on this journey. The GAMC has the whole mission of the national offices to consider in its priority setting, not just the mission that directly connects with justice and advocacy programs that the A/A committees champion. The A/A committees seem inclined toward a defensive mentality, taking any attempts at scrutiny, revision, or reduction in justice and advocacy programming as particularized hostility toward this mission. This creates a perception by some that the A/A committees are too often functioning as special interest groups defending turf and that perception lessens the likelihood that other A/A concerns will be received well. 5. What are a few of the top things that excite you about the work of the three committees? At a general level, there is appreciation for the passion that is brought to the subject matter of each entity. The roles these entities have played in the inclusion of women and racial ethnic persons over recent decades have been very important. It continues to be a helpful service to the church. They keep justice issues before the life of the church and the decisions the church makes at the national level. However, it is unclear what impact the work of these committees has had on members, outside of a few enthusiasts, and on influencing the world outside the Church. 6. How are the advocacy committees and the advisory committee related and how is this relationship exemplified? The GAMC Executive committee was unclear about the question. Related to who or what? Question 2 seems to answer how they are related to the GAMC. How are they related to each other? The advocacy committees’ roles are characterized by monitoring and evaluating policies, procedures, programs, and resources. They advocate for implementation of these on behalf of the communities they represent and they advise the GAMC on matters of concern in their business. ACSWP has the lead role in developing and recommending social witness policy. It coordinates the development and recommendation of polices by denominational entities. Development of policies, study guides and other materials by advocacy committees needs to be coordinated by ASCWP as it also works with GAMC and other entities working on similar policy issues. 7. How would you like to see the Advisory and Advocacy Committee Review Team approach its task and what do you expect it to produce as a result of the review? Several themes are of concern:

    ddagesTypewritten TextPage 2 of 3

    ddagesTypewritten Text

  • GAMC Executive Committee, September 23-25, 2010; Appendix 1

    Reach clarity on the nature and scope of the work the A/A committees are to do based on their mandates in the Organization for mission and other relevant policies. One concern is the initiation of studies and resource development projects without consultation with ACSWP and GAMC entities, resulting in redundancies and poor use of limited resources. Correct misunderstandings about roles of A/A committees with regard to GAMC, particularly with regard to staffing arrangements. While the A/A committees are not GAMC committees, there is a belief that the A/A committees need to reexamine their role in the life of the denomination in light of the changing nature of mission in the life of the church, particularly as we see more decentralized approaches to mission. Are there ways the GAMC and the A/A committees can begin an exploration of new opportunities and new strategies for the work they do in light of unfolding realities? The GAMC understands the A/A committees must take up controversial and unpopular positions on issues at times, some that may not sit well with the GAMC. Yet, when there are communications or actions by the GAMC that are of concern, we need to begin by assuming positive intent and by seeking clarification from the appropriate leaders. Broadcasting complaints and publically issuing accusatory statements without a good faith effort to understand more than one side of the situation and potentially resolve misunderstandings, errors, and conflicts quietly, damages the work of everyone involved and the witness of the church. We need better ways of handling disagreements. Develop a better partnership in meeting the new realties that are confronting us.

    9/23/09

    Executive Leadership Team Answers to Questions from the Advisory and Advocacy Committees Review Team

    1. How would you envision the GAMC further nurturing its relationship with the three advisory

    and advocacy committees? a. The relationship needs to encourage collaboration at the front end rather than what seems to be a

    constantly reactive approach. The Executive Leadership Team (ELT) would like to see the committees assume a legitimate level of goodwill on the part of the GAMC – goodwill that genuinely exists.

    b. The relationship should provide a means by which interaction between A&A committee and GAMC staff is meaningful and legitimate, e.g., scheduling an annual meeting between the advocacy and advisory committees and the ministries directors or with other staff leadership teams.

    c. The GAMC appreciates it when the committees augment their critical analysis with suggestions for effective solutions.

    2. How is the GAMC’s work enhanced by its relationship with the Advocacy and Advisory Committees? a. The GAMC’s work is enhanced because it gets to see different perspectives in the manner of

    advocacy as constructive engagement.

    3. How do you understand the lines of authority for the committees with regard to reporting, especially on the issue of staff oversight? How can those responsibilities be clarified and better expressed? a. The committees are GA committees with direct access to both the Assembly and the GAMC

    (Organization for Mission). All assembly reports related to GA mission are made through the GAMC and thus each of the A&A committees submits its report to the Assembly through the GAMC. The GAMC can comment on these reports (especially with regard to financial implications) but cannot alter them.

    b. GAMC provides staff to the A&A committees and is charged with the responsibility of giving structural oversight for how to best provide staff services.

    4. What is your vision for the future of the church and General Assembly mission work and how does advocacy (ACWC and ACREC) fit into this vision?

    a. The GAMC seeks to be vitally connected and responsive to Middle Governing Bodies, (congregations and the wider church), i.e., being responsive to its constituency and those who fund its ministries. The A&A committees need also to be engaged at various level of the church.

    b. A&A committees have been in existence for fifteen years and yet the denomination is still more than ninety percent Anglo. Diversity is a critical concern and the committees need to take the lead in helping us grow the church deep and wide.

    5. What are a few of the top things that excite you about the work of the three committees?

    a. The energy, passion and enthusiasm with which the committees approach their work.

    b. The importance of the work they are charged to pursue in the life and ministries of the church.

    c. The unique perspective they provide on social justice issues, a perspective that might not otherwise get the consideration it deserves.

    6. How are the advocacy committees and the advisory committee related and how is this relationship exemplified?

    a. Each of the committees is concerned with the church’s social witness ministry the advisory committee on a general basis and the two advocacy committees with the same subject matter viewed through two very specific sets of lens.

    7. How would you like to see the Advisory and Advocacy Committee Review Team approach its task and what do you expect it to produce as a result of the review?

    a. It would be helpful if the review would bring clarity to some of the gray areas that occasionally lead to conflict, e.g., how roles and responsibilities are distinct and where they appropriately intersect.

  • MC Executive Committee, September 22-23, 2009, Appendix 5

    Report of the GAMC Executive Committee’s Procedures Subcommittee

    The Procedures Subcommittee reports that it met by conference call on Friday, August 14, 2009 to review the Minutes of the Advocacy Committee for Racial Ethnic Concerns and the Advocacy Committee for Women’s Concerns for the years 2007 and 2008 as follows:

    Advocacy Committee for Racial Ethnic Concerns:

    • February 15-17, 2007 • July 9-11, 2007 • October 17-27, 2007 • January 23-26, 2008 • March 6-8, 2008 • August 28-30, 2008 • November 20-22, 2008

    Advocacy Committee for Women’s Concerns

    • February 15-17, 2007 • June 7-9, 2007 • January 24-26, 2008 • August 14-17, 2008 • October 24, 2008

    Overall, the Procedures Subcommittee found that the minutes reviewed were, for the most part, in compliance with the established guidelines (attached).

    Feedback was provided to the appropriate staff regarding minor adjustments to the minutes, along with a reminder that when these minutes are sent to the Department of History, they must have handwritten signatures rather than the electronic signatures as presented to the Procedures Subcommittee.

    It was also noted that minutes of October 2007 for the Advocacy Committee for Women’s Concerns were not submitted to the Procedures Subcommittee for review.

    The Procedures Subcommittee will meet immediately following the September GAMC meeting to begin consideration of various matters related to the GAC Manual of Operations that have been raised. An additional report will be brought to the February 2010 GAMC Executive Committee meeting.

    Respectfully Submitted,

    Doug Megill, Procedures Subcommittee Chair
