Council Priorities

Here are our priorities for the Leadership Council.

We’ve included resources on this page to effectively address each of these.

    1. The Leadership Council
    2. Your network
    3. Our extended membership network
  3. Identify specific people you’re going to refer to Uniting for Action for:

Leadership Council Projects

As we discussed in the Leadership Council meeting, we’re going to facilitate each of the Leaders on the Council specifying a Project that they’re going to take on during their 3-month term on the Leadership Council.

To complete, or make substantial progress on, a specific project (personal, professional, philanthropic, etc.) that is important to each Leadership Council member, the Leadership Council Projects are an opportunity to leverage:

  • The Leadership Council members
  • The UnitingForAction.com technology platform
  • The extended Uniting for Action membership network

Leadership Council Referrals

We’re asking Leadership Council members to refer three types of prospects to Uniting for Action right now:

  • Executive Team members
  • Leadership Council members
  • Patrons

The following video defines what we’re seeking in each of these types of prospects so that each of the Leadership Council members can start making a list of the people they know that they want to refer to Uniting for Action in each of these categories.

Email Setup

Each Leadership Council member has been given a Uniting For Action email address to use for all communications related to Uniting for Action. Please use this email address only when communicating with anyone inside or outside of Uniting For Action regarding Uniting For Action.

To ensure a saved history of all communications, and quality control of Uniting For Action communications, Jared Krupnick (and appropriate Uniting For Action staff and/or volunteers) will have access to all emails sent and received through your Uniting For Action email account, so please do not use this account to send or receive any personal, confidential, or sensitive information.
