Episcopal Community Services Foundation Board and staff, 2008

ECSF’s trustees represent a wide array of experience on issues including affordable housing, homelessness, hunger, civil rights, literacy and education, and multicultural ministry.  All volunteers, they serve for three year staggered terms. Three are elected by Diocesan Convention each year and two are appointed by the Bishop of Southern Ohio.  ECSF’s board and staff are glad to serve as resources to help you in planning community ministry or connecting with others working on the same issues. Feel free to contact the trustee nearest you, or to contact us at ECSF@eos.net with specific questions so we can refer you to the trustee with relevant experience. Among the services available free to any church or planning team in the diocese: guest sermons, adult forum talks, facilitating planning retreats, or informal consultations.
