Administration is listed as one of the gifts to the church in Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians (12:28). But many pastors and church leaders in various institutional roles are “reluctant” to be engaged in administrative service and consider it a necessary evil or an impediment to their real work of ministry. This presentation will affirm that the various facets of administrative service, including fund raising, are essential for the mission and witness of the church by exploring the biblical foundations for such a call to service. The New Testament shows that administrative service is an authentic expression of Christian discipleship.
In this keynote address, Ms. Zeman will focus on The Performance Imperative (PI), a framework that was developed by the Leap Ambassadors Community to help faith-based and secular nonprofits perform at a level worthy of their calling and the people they serve.
She will challenge the audience to ask themselves what it would take to look in the mirror and know that their organization is making a meaningful, enduring difference – beyond what would have happened if it had never existed. She will describe a common definition of “high performance,” one that was developed by dozens of nonprofit leaders from across the country, and will detail the seven organizational pillars that can help nonprofit organizations progress on their journey toward high performance.
Ms. Zeman will introduce the audience to the concept of high performance, and challenge them to use the PI as a way to guide and bear witness to their journey to high performance as a means to achieve better outcomes for the people they serve, and to demonstrate their effectiveness to their funders.

Objectives
Many nonprofits use the U.S. Postal Service to raise funds, communicate their causes, and send newsletters and magazines to subscribers. In fact, nonprofits currently generate one-tenth of all US Mail. We all are aware that the USPS has been going through painful adjustments to lower mail volume and higher costs. These adjustments have led to a bias toward trying to raise postage rates above the rate of inflation and to lower service standards.
Big changes are coming that nonprofit mailers should be aware of and involved in shaping. Legislation to “reform” the Postal Service is making its way through both houses of Congress. The Postal Regulatory Commission will soon begin a major review of the postal pricing regulatory system and possibly make significant changes. The executive director of the national coalition of nonprofit mailers will present what has been happening and what to expect in the near future. More important, there will be great opportunities for nonprofits to make their voices heard as our postal system is re-shaped.
Bill Yacullo, Managing Partner of Trinity Executive Partnership, will present the results of the recent Compensation and Benefits Survey.
The survey, which was sent earlier this year to a variety of Catholic fundraising organizations, not only looks at salary levels for 14 individual job titles, but gathers data on benefits, staffing levels and succession planning.
This is the fourth survey conducted by NCDC and Trinity Executive Partnership.
