The Education for Ministry Programme in Canada is administered by an Administrative Council, the Director, and the Executive Coordinator, and by the Bishop of the Diocese of Kootenay. The members of the Council, with the exception of the Director and the Executive Coordinator, serve a three year term. The members of the Administrative Council for 2009 - 2010 are:  Catherine Hall (Director), Sheila Mulgrew (Executive Coordinator), Patricia Bays (Trainer Representative), Richard Simpson, Wayne Close (Financial Advisor), Christine Ross (WebMaster)

The function of the Council is to decide on the policy of the Programme in Canada within a contractual relationship with our parent body, the University of the South. The present membership includes six members appointed by the Bishop of the Diocese of Kootenay.

The Council is a group of "episkopoi," overseers, who survey the scope and workings of EFM across Canada. All members of the Council have extensive experience with the EFM programme. At their quarterly meetings, in the early hours of Saturday mornings, they help the Director make and execute policy, assist in the scheduling of training sessions for both mentors and trainers, ride herd on the budget and strengthen the liaison between EFM and the Dioceses.

They also read and act on suggestions and comments sent to EFM-Canada in the group status reports. The Council meetings often have lively discussions about the health of EFM in Canada which result in decisions needed to maintain the health and growth of the programme. The Council is also the body who envsioned and commissioned this Web Site.
