14. Proposed CTC Structure: The What

15. Proposed CTC Structure: The Why
The Exodus project requires regular review of staffing and resources in light of Conference Mission.
Conference adoption of WIG in 2017
Retirements (Dr. Randy Wild, Rev. Dawne Phillips, Ms. Sheryl Crumrine, Ms. Donna Piper, Mr. David Stinson) provide an opportunity to
re-think staffing in order to drive the WIG (most of these positions remain)
reduce overall Conference Center costs
The new staff alignment is intended to
focus the Conference Center even more strongly on the Mission/WIG and
provide new opportunities to energize and equip local churches to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
