Conference Core Leadership Team

The Conference Core Leadership Team will develop measurable outcomes for the Central Texas Conference in keeping with the direction laid out by the Annual Conference and which are faithful to the Book of Discipline. The Conference Core Leadership Team will create a culture of accountability towards those outcomes. Teams and task forces operating within centers will be established by the Bishop, the Core Leadership Team or Executive Directors of a center. Centers, teams and project groups must define their intended outcomes and provide timelines for accomplishing their stated outcomes.

 
The Conference Core Leadership Team and Centers will identify emerging missional needs and deploy resources to meet them. 
 
The Conference Core Leadership Team will be convened by the Bishop (who does not have a vote) or in the absence of the Bishop by the Assistant to the Bishop. The Conference Core Leadership Team will include the Conference Lay Leader, one lay member elected by each of the five districts, three-at-large members appointed by the Bishop, one District Superintendent, the Assistant to the Bishop, and the three Executive Directors of the Center.
