The Structure and Operation of Presbyterian Men
The National Council of Presbyterian Men, Inc. (NCPM, Inc.)
The general policy, organization,
programs, and financing of Presbyterian Men are determined
by the National Council
of Presbyterian
Men (NCPM, Inc.). The NCPM, Inc. is composed of representatives
from each Presbytery and Synod in the PC(USA) and
the ten members of the Executive Board of NCPM, Inc.
The Executive
Board
The Executive
Board members are responsible for developing
an on-going program to build faith, spirituality and
leadership in men in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
and for overseeing
and carrying out the programs and directives of the
National Council.
The President serves as the national spokesman
for Presbyterian Men, and presides at all formal meetings
of the Board.
The Vice-President works
with local men, and the other Executive Board members to:
- plan the meetings of the National Council
- plan the annual event of
the organization
- develop international and national mission
projects in cooperation with other
Presbyterian entities
- maintain and build the membership of the organization
The
Secretary keeps records of the Executive Board
meetings, NCPM meetings and handles correspondence
at the
request of the President.
The Treasurer maintains
financial records and brings reports to the Executive
Board and to
the NCPM, Inc.
At-large Representatives ensure
racial, cultural, and age diversity on
the Executive Board and
in the programs
of
the National Council
of Presbyterian Men, Inc.
There are four at-large representatives:
Black Men’s Representative
Hispanic Men’s Representative
Korean Men’s Representative
Young Men’s Representative
The
Coordinator for Church Leader Support provides denominational
staff support from the offices
of the General Assembly
Council. The coordinator
or designate serves as a liaison to the elected
officers in the design
and promotion of the programs.
Interpretation and Communication
We use three methods to keep members up-to-date with events,
programs, and news pertinent to our Presbyterian Men:
The Presbyterian Men’s Web
site (www.presbyterianmen.org)
is our on line directory of resources, events, elected
leadership, newsletters, articles of interest and links
to related groups
and resources. Through the Web site you can order
resources,
download forms, contact
our officers and read
reports and articles related
to ministries with men.
PMIA - Presbyterian
Men in Action is a free newsletter prepared and available
on line at least twice a year. It contains
information about the national organization, regional
events and resource
helpful to men’s ministries.
Press releases are sent to synods and presbyteries to be included
in newsletters, mailings and electronic messages.
