Twelve Issues to Address

1 SOI needs to increase involvement of the Board of Directors soas to enhance the overall planning, development and

governance areas of the organization.

2 Need to recruit younger, qualified staff members for the planned

growth and transition to the next generation of leadership.

3 The effectiveness of the ministry is hampered because of too

much prayer-less activity and a lack of on-going trainingopportunities for staff.

4 Sports Outreach Institute does not have a written plan or

strategy for development to provide for the financial security of

the organization.

5 Currently SOI is wasting time and resources due to a lack of

clarity over job responsibilities and descriptions as well as

duplication of cost complicated by the operation of multipleoffices.

6 After 25 years of growth it is necessary to review the financial

accounting and stewardship practices of SOI.


25/25

Twelve Issues to Address7 Recent board meeting discussions and letters to board membersby the president and Executive Director indicate different

opinions and in some instances confusion regarding the currentstaff, programming and overall direction of SOI.

8 Recent conversations with board members and staff indicate aneed for better communication regarding staffing, programupdates and financial funding. Several board members and staffindicated a desire for more current information regarding thesethings so that they could more faithfully represent the work andfinancial needs of SOI to others.

9 There have been several discussions relating to the size of theBoard of Directors of SOI. Discussions have centered on the needto reduce the size of the board and thus increase involvement ofactive members.

10 Examination of staff salary scale, personal support and possible

addition of more complete benefit package for employees of SOI.11 Need to introduce SOI to a large east coast market that will

increase visibility, fund-raising opportunities and enhancerecruitment of new staff.

12 Need to provide a permanent office, demonstration site andtraining center in the USA.
