LifeWise Leadership Board

Group Objectives

The Leadership Board completes launch steps 8-10 and then oversees the operation of the live program.

• 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.
