Composition and Decision Making Processes

The Admin Team operates as the collective functional leader of CNVC, accountable to the Board. It consists of three people: two NVC experts and a nonprofit organization management expert. As such they give day-to-day guidance to the CNVC organization.

• Together these three people maintain an awareness of the significant NVC operational activities. The three people stay in daily contact to communicate their activities and develop a common understanding of and strategy for handling operational matters. Whenever one of them makes an operational request, for example, to an LT member, or represents CNVC to an outside party, that person speaks for all three.
• One or more of the Admin Team members meets on a frequent basis with some or all the LT members, as appropriate, to coordinate requests and ensure clear communications among the LT members. One or more of the Admin Team members participates in LT circle meeting (normally held once a month), to establish or update LT operating procedures and policies.
• Because they are the collective functional leader of CNVC, all three of the Admin Team members are full members of the CNVC Board.
