Binders
I was taught by a good friend and mentor,
So, how are you managing your ministry? Do you have a binder that enables anyone, anywhere, to get access to the critical components of your ministry, like procedures, volunteer and vendor contact information, etc? Is is easily available to the staff and volunteers? Is it stored away in a safe place as not to be accidentially thrown away or reveal sensitive information? Or, do you just “wing it”, hoping everyone knows how to reach the right people, do the right things, and new volunteers will just “pick things up as they go”?
Binders convey what is most important regarding procedures, contacts, decisions, etc. and are the lifeblood of your ministry. Consider creating between one and three binders that perform the following functions:
- Manage procedures and manuals for new or existing volunteers
- Track important contacts, licenses, permits, etc
- Track important meeting notes, decisions, emails, and ideas
