A Call to Commitment
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
So many of you are working countless hours each
week to support the efforts of VOTF at the local level around
the country. For this we are extremely grateful.
What you may be less aware of is that every day,
your VOTF office is filled with a group of committed individuals
performing inspired work in a wonderfully collaborative fashion
together under challenging circumstances. Our efforts here, I
believe, have been a learning experience for all of us in what
is possible through faith, commitment, and collaboration. I have
never seen people give more of themselves and expect less in return
than the volunteers and staff I have been fortunate enough to
work with here. Their work fortifies our faith as they move mountains
with theirs. Their work is ministry.
Our energy centers around six activities:
- Forming, maintaining,
and serving Parish Voice affiliates nationwide as a means
to fulfill our mission.
- Internal and external
communication to reach all our members and the media.
- Technology to
keep us all connected.
- Fundraising to
help finance all our efforts as the voice of the laity.
- Membership to
keep our movement growing.
- Administration
to hold everything together.
While the environment here sometimes feels like
a high-growth start-up company, at the same time there is a feeling
of family, commitment, and collaboration that would be difficult,
and highly improbable, to cultivate in any business environment.
In addition to the legions of volunteers who serve
on committees and make all that we do as an organization possible,
below is a list of the shining faces who work here in the office,
as paid staff or as volunteers, and come in several times each
week to perform key assignments "in the vineyard" of VOTF. Of
the 29 persons listed below, 10 are paid for part-time, and 2
for full-time, services. The total compensation for these 12 is
the equivalent of 6.75 full-time persons (FTE's). However, in
effect, everyone is also a volunteer because of the volunteer
time each gives to our organization. We are so fortunate for this
and thank them - and you - for your collective commitment and
dedication to Voice of the Faithful!
Warm regards,
Steve Krueger
