September 1991 — 1993 (2 years )
Used inner city church planting to "brown" the understanding of the trustees and to create a productive dialogue on ethnicity particularly as it related to ethnicity on university campuses.
Created a relational model of doing board business by emphasizing community and designing committees, relationships with national center staff and field staff around that model.
Stimulated a dialogue on women in leadership for theologically conservative Christian organizations using natural gifts of charm, humor, intellect, and a deep belief in the remarkable potential of both genders. Moved consciousness into a safe understanding without resorting to diatribe.
