How MARCC Works

How does MARCC run?

• The MARCC office, located in downtown Cincinnati, is made up of an Executive Director, Administrative Assistant, and during the school year, graduate student intern.
• Executive Board meets weekly to discuss issues and actions
• Delegates Council meets monthly to learn about and discuss issues
• MARCC is a non-profit organization, funded solely by the annual contributions of its member Judicatories.

 Executive Board

• Consists of elected officers and board members from each member Judicatory, as well as executive staff and presidents ex-officio.
• Manages the organization policy and employs the executive staff
• Reviews proposals, strategies, and matters to be considered
• Hears progress reports by the staff and suggests appropriate actions on issues and projects
• Makes recommendations about appointments for committees and task forces
• Reviews any public statements made in the name of MARCC
•  Currently meets weekly for one hour on Friday mornings

Delegates Council

• Composed of at least three delegates from each member Judicatory, lay persons and clergy.
•  Has the authority to implement policies, create committees and task forces
• Reviews decisions and proposals of the Executive Board when necessary
• Currently meets monthly, on the second Wednesday at noon
• Most meetings include a guest speaker who presents on a current issue.

We choose our concerns at Fall Planning Conference:

• Held in mid November
• Delegates meet and share a dinner, then split into groups to discuss up to five issues
• Judicatories caucus and vote on issues they believe are most important
• The two concerns with the most votes will be MARCC’s Priority Concerns for the following year.

 We report our progress at Annual Meeting:

• Held toward the beginning of each calendar year
• Members review the work of the previous year, adopt a budget, and elect new officers
