Dear Brothers & Sisters
The Episcopal Conference Center is one of the four stated mission priorities of the Diocese and the single largest “domestic” line item in our budget (our apportionment to The Episcopal Church being the biggest line item over-all).
In response to current economic challenges and in our commitment to maintain high quality programs, in particular our summer camp program, the staff of ECC has created a new and imaginative way to move forward.
After studying the staffing patterns in other Dioceses, we have decided to make the summer camp and other youth programming a part of the position of Director of Christian Formation. The position and job description are being reworked to reflect these changes. I am delighted that Maryann Kolakowski, Director of Christian Formation, has accepted my invitation to this expanded ministry. This is a model used by several other Dioceses and seems to make great sense in our context as well. This will result in significant financial savings, and deploys existing resources more efficiently and effective
Lance Roberts will continue to have responsibility for the physical plant, grounds, and safety as Facilities Manager, and Joyce Roberts will continue as Resident Manager with responsibility for logistical support of offered programs and non summer bookings. The camp registrar will be a seasonal position.
Yours faithfully,
Geralyn Wolf
Bishop of RI
