Cultivating relationships for belonging and voice
Cultivar relaciones para pertenecer y tener voz
Belonging and voice are about who is in the room and who is heard. The denominator — who the conference is — is measurable today; the numerator — who leads — is not yet coded.
The segmentation is the point. A belonging score that rises on average while falling for one group is exactly the failure this priority exists to catch.
Who the conference is (membership composition)
Total professing members: 67,179. Race columns are under-reported, so read shares as directional.
Self-reported member demographics from GCFA tables. Race columns are under-reported (not every church codes them), so treat shares as directional. This is the denominator a leadership-representation audit is measured against.
Leadership representation audit
Leadership composition of boards/agencies vs. the membership composition above. The roster is captured (16 committees, 259 seats); the demographic coding is largely unfilled — and that incompleteness is the finding.
