Dear Faculty and Staff,
As we move through the summer months, I want to provide another update regarding the Financial Accountability and Strategic Thinking (FAST) Task Force. As indicated in our last update, we have now completed proposal reviews for Focal Area #3 (Strategic alignment, prioritization, and investment), and several proposals have been funded thanks to the generous support of our benefactors. While we have made the decision to move forward on several of those proposals, others have been reserved for future consideration.
A few of the funded FAST initiatives have new positions associated with the innovation efforts, and those positions will soon be posted on our website. The positions include account manager positions to support the work of our Trusted Partnerships team, presently led by Mr. Kevin Ebben and Dr. Bruce Locklear. Additionally, a project manager supporting the execution of recruitment and marketing plans will also be posted. Please consider whether you or someone you know might be a good fit for these roles as we invest for growth.
None of these initiatives would be possible without the support of generous benefactors providing innovation funds. As I conclude this update, let us remember those benefactors in gratitude, as well as the work of our president, Father James P. Burns, IVD, Ph.D., and Gary Klein and his team in the office of advancement.
Live Jesus in our hearts, forever!
Michael McMahon
