Organizational Structure
The following structure has been established to facilitate information and questions. Information is sent from the national office to district directors on a regular basis. The information is then shared with sectional representatives and local coordinators.
Local church coordinators should direct questions to their sectional representatives. Sectional representatives are encouraged to contact their district Women’s Ministries directors with questions or concerns. District Women’s Ministries directors contact the national office. Of course, the staffs of both the district and national offices exist to serve as resources as needed.
