Leadership Board - LifeWise Applicant Center

The Leadership Board assists with the completion of launch steps 8-10 and operation of the live program by:

✦ Providing input and direction to the Program Director as he/she manages the day-to-day operations of the program

✦ Assisting with the 5 L's of operations:

✧ Leadership: Recruit and onboard program staff 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, budget and manage finances

✧ Language: Ensure all public communications are excellent and contain proper messaging

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 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 background check & 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

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.
