NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL
The Center for Church Management in the ÃÞ»¨ÌÇÖ±²¥ School of Business provides education and scholarship in the Augustinian Catholic tradition on strategic, management, and financial matters in service to leaders of churches and other Christian faith-based ministries.
This highly-engaged Advisory Council meets monthly for a one-hour online meeting to discuss specific strategic decisions that will promote or direct the mission of the Center for Church Management. We meet annually in-person to celebrate Center accomplishments, review strategic plan progress, meet with Dean Wen Mao, PhD, and engage in learning and discussion about topical issues facing the Church and her leaders.
