Planning
and Coordinating
Change doesn't just happen. It's a process of looking to the future,
making plans, and setting those plans in motion. At the Kirk,
that's done by the Planning and Coordinating Committee. This group
of forward-looking folks also coordinates inter-committee relations
and looks at committee function, an interesting and diverse responsibility. |
