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

Ken is a strong staff overseeing a large chapter. He's one of only a few Japanese-American staff in the country and one of only a few Asian American staff in GLE right now. He ended the year with $17,000 in his staff account and $5,000 (that was his) in the chapter account. The year before he ended with $9,000 in his staff account and $4,000 in the chapter account. I don't have budget records before that.

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

Ken has served on multiple planning teams for regional conferences, both ethnic-specific and multiethnic. The AFR for his chapter this year ended at 109 making it (I think) the largest chapter in our half of the region that has struggled with growth. He is very committed to caring pastorally and strategically for the students under his care!

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

Ken was in the regional Chapter Building Cohort this year and was helped by the training. He then joined me in training the new staff in our area this year, using much of what we learned in the cohort.

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

Ken has a heart to see other ethnic minorities funded. We started an area wide fund this year to be able to raise all on our staff up to 100% and it worked! Ken played a key role in that decision.

Additional comments or questions Thanks!
