ACCOUNTABILITY
Now Campaign Update
Two groups of volunteer advisors have been assembled
to facilitate the progress of the VOTF Campaign for
Accountability. They are the Financial Accountability
Advisors (FAA) and the Legislative Accountability Advisors
(LAA). These groups consist of financial and legislative
experts from across the country. Each group will:
- provide resources and “on-call” support
that will bolster affiliates’ campaign efforts
- ) share campaign successes and lessons learned
with other involved affiliates
- ) make suggestions for how to revise the campaign
plans as new information is presented
VOTF is grateful to the following:
FAA Members:
Brenda Hackett (Wayne, PA); Joe Harris (Seattle, WA);
John Hauter (Chicago, IL); George Perkins (Fall River,
MA); Brad Pritts (Ann Arbor, MI); Vicki Rector (Colorado
Springs, CO); Karl Useldinger (Colorado Springs,

NOTE from VOTF president Mary Pat Fox:
PENTECOST June 4, 2006: Kick-off for the VOTF National
Campaign for Accountability
Join with friends this Pentecost for the official beginning
of our commitment to accountability in the Catholic
Church. Our Campaign for Accountability Now team has
been assembling the framework for the campaigns on
financial accountability and protecting our children
with input gathered first at the 2005 Indianapolis
convocation and then from affiliates, the NRC and working
groups throughout VOTF.
On Pentecost, we will unite in prayer to ask for God's
grace as we work to build a healthier Church. Get out
your red jacket and your VOTF pin; there will be a
role for everyone who wishes to participate. Watch
the VOTF web site for more details at "Campaign
for Accountability."
