Executive Committee

Fields of Responsibility

There will be four meetings set each year: action required between meetings will be arranged by e-mail or conference call.

1. to develop proposals for Synod strategy, for approval by Synod;
2. to monitor that responsibility is allocated comprehensively and appropriately, for actions that support Synod-approved policy or that respond to General Assembly assignments;
3. to manage the process for Synod appointments, both paid and unpaid;
4. to manage office arrangements and administration work - including establishment numbers within budget - for the Moderator and the Training Team, and for liaison between Synod and the local churches;
5. to manage staff relations within employment legislation, including setting office staff salaries;
6. to monitor performance against the Administration Fund Budget;
7. to make arrangements for meetings of Synod, developing detailed agendas; and
8. to take urgent action as necessary;

in every case asking what the ecumenical implications are.
