Please describe their situation including their ending deficit or surplus for the last three years and any present escrow in their account

Felicia has never made her budget from ministry partner donations since I've been her AD the last 3+ years. The money she's received from grants and special ME assistance have helped to bring her close to budget in 2014 and 2015 and actually made budget in 2016 with some escrow. In 2014 and 2015 her deficits were in the $5000-6000 range. She made budget in 2016 and currently has an escrow of $5681. She's worked hard on MPD the last year and a half. About 8 months ago I raised her salary about $6000 a year. She's still out of range for a CSM 4. I'd like to see her salary come up higher but it's been difficult for her to expand her network as well as gain upgrades from current ministry partners.

Strategic Role: The Senior Staff worker plays a critical leadership role regionally and/or nationally to help build healthy, ethnically diverse witnessing chapters or staff teams Yes

Please describe as it relates to their present and future involvement

Felicia recently participated in a conference in Trinidad/Tobago where she was part of a small team of mentors. She's been involved in BSM and Black scholars network, as well as the 2016 Black Lives Matter conference. She currently ministers to black and asian students at Morehouse Medical School, and has made some strategic inroads at the Atlanta University Center - the largest contiguous consortium of African Americans in higher education in the United States. She planted a Faculty ministry last fall at the AU Center with most of the faculty coming from Morehouse and Clark University. She plans to grow and expand this ministry in the coming years, as well as participate and bring leadership to BSM and BLM.

What role (if any) does this staff play in chapter building or chapter planting?

She's building a chapter at Morehouse Medical school in conjunction with the Christian Medical & Dental Association. They've been teaming together for several years motivating, educating, and equipping multiethnic healthcare professionals and students. She also planted a Faculty chapter at Clark and Morehouse Universities and plans to build this strategic ministry in the coming years.

What plan or strategy is being implemented regionally to assist this applicant in addressing their fundraising difficulties?

Felicia has received personal coaching from one of our AD's for the last 16 months. I have also helped Felicia with expanding her Network and following up with consistent givers to go beyond maintaining to inspiring some ministry partners to give more. She's been working on her MPD area case to sharpen the presentation of her ministry.
