We will cover in this training: Understand the council’s perception by fellow parishioners, particularly that of inactive members and future potential members. Construct a council mission statement that reflects the council’s vision and goals. u Understand the Faith in Action program model and its four categories – Faith, Family, Community and Life. Identify the council’s flagship program(s). Access the council’s current program regimen and identify the current strengths and weaknesses among its program calendar. Develop a calendar for the next 6-12 months that responds to the council’s mission statement and addresses some of the council’s strengths and weaknesses identified above. Understand the Program Director’s role in leading the council’s programming efforts.

The presentation will help Fraternal leaders resolve to leave councils, parish, and community better than how they found it. Leader should also learn how to develop a simple, specific, year-round plan in place for growing council membership, that involves participation from the whole council. Attendees should commit to work with their pastor(s), field agent, and DD to accomplish their goals. Leaders should understand the importance of hosting regular ceremonials, incorporating recruitment into every event, and running membership drives.
