The following summarizes the main activities and key results achieved this month for each of the
3 agreed upon areas of focus. Again, I have intentionally distinguished between activities and
results given that the two are different. Activities are simply the means to the ends. And it is the
“ends”/results that really count.
Key Activities:
• One trip to Haiti and the Dominican Republic (March 24 – April 3).
• Participated in conference calls of the Capital Campaign committee.
• National TV morning show interview in Canada relative to emerging NHL and NHL
Players Association/World Vision Canada collaboration in support of the rebuilding of
GCH
• Prepared draft recommendations for Board leadership relative to steps necessary for
operationalizing the R&R office including 1-year budget, cashflow and accountability
framework
• Recruited small staff team for the R and R office in PAP
• Staff team and R&R office functional as of March 15
• Purchased equipment, supplies and furniture for the R&R office

Haiti (March 15 and 16 facilitated by R&R team)
• Held a 2-day follow up GCH planning workshop including GCH/ICC Haiti staff along

Key Activities:

Church of Haiti in order to explore ways to strengthen the link again between ICC
and the Methodist Church as well as their potential involvement as advisors pending
creation of a new Board.
• Meeting held with the FCID D.R. Board – March 25 in Santiago – to brief them on
the ICC Haiti Board situation; appointment and role of the ID as well as learn from
them more about the FCID board makeup, function and issues of concern

Conclusion:
The major focus of my attention shifted away from resolving the Haiti Board crisis to that of
strategic planning for the new GCH as well as clarififying the various components of ICC”s post
quake relief response. Absolutely essential for achieving this has been managing to get the new
R&R office successfully up and off the ground.
This required considerable effort on the part of many. It also required some important Board
decisions relative to policy, accountability and collaboration between the national and the
international levels in the organization. I am deeply grateful for the support of a great many staff
and Board leadership around the organization. I would like to particularly express appreciation to
Dr. Magloire and his staff for their enthusiastic support and assistance in getting the R&R office
functional just as quickly as possible and then working closely with us in undertaking a
significant amount of creative and important planning for the future.
The R&R team hit the ground running with little time to waste in trying to move just as quickly
as possible to begin producing trangible results. We convered a significant amount of ground.
Our efforts are, I believe, already starting to pay off. Some exciting though challenging days lie
ahead.
