Administrative Team

This team is made up of 5 central leaders of Westchester United. They act as the officers of the corporation overseeing budgetary decisions, audits, and other legal and administrative matters. The Administrative Team will then put those matters to the Strategy Team for discussion and ratification.  Admin Team Members also serve on, and help lead, the Strategy Team.

Westchester United Strategy Team

This team functions as the central strategy body of Westchester United. It is made up of a mix of 20-30 professional religious and lay leaders from Westchester United member organizations. Every dues-paying member institution is encouraged to send key leaders to be part of this group. For most institutions that would be 2-3 people. While consensus is always the goal, if a vote has to be taken, each member institution of Westchester United gets one vote.

The Strategy Team sets the direction for the organization. It discusses, ratifies and implements Westchester United’s major campaigns and actions.

Strategy Team Members are asked to both represent the interests and concerns of their member organizations to Westchester United’s Strategy Team, as well as to report on and help implement the decisions and plans by the Strategy Team to their own congregation/member organization.
