NATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL
The Center for Church Management in the ÎÞÂëרÇø 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.
