Week Four Essay

Staff Report to Board

    I think that a staff member's report to a board should include some administrative type things. First of all they need to have their name on it, the date and time if the meeting and what ministry they are submitting a report for. They should also type and sign the bottom of each of their reports.

There are many other things that a report should include such as:

1. The regular attendance of the ministry

2. The budget of the ministry vs. money spent for the ministry

3. What you do and when you regularly meet for that ministry

4. What and when you have done other events than the regular meeting times

5. Tell the people who volunteer in the ministry and if you need more

6. Tell your vision for the ministry and where you see it going in the future

7. Tell how you plan to see your vision become a reality

8. Tell what areas of the ministry are going well

9. Tell what areas of the ministry need improvement

10. Make any needed proposals for more money, volunteers, buildings, etc.

I think that a report to the board should accomplish giving the board a good overview of the entire time period since the last meeting for that ministry. They should know about how the ministry works and what needs more attention or what they can do to help the ministry improve. The board should have enough information from the report that they can tell someone else about the ministry, what it does, what it wants to do and what the budget is for that ministry. The report should give the board a solid overview of the ministry so they know what is going on in the Church.
