Please check out the below link to download ideas to strengthen your council. FOLLOW ME! By Jane Carter, NCCW Leadership Commission Chair NCCW Servant Leadership Program Following the model of Jesus, each of us strives to be a true servant leader. The NCCW Leadership Commission is creating a new program called “FOLLOW ME! Called to Serve, Chosen to Lead.” Emphasizing the special characteristics of a servant leader, the program is unfolding through articles in Catholic Woman magazine. Resources to support the articles can be found in the monthly e-newsletter, Connect, and on the NCCW website.  If you missed the recent articles in Catholic Woman magazine, be sure to go back and read them. The introduction to the program can be found in the Spring 2014 CW (p.8). Articles on “Listening” and “Healing and Empathy” appeared in the Summer edition (p.21), and the Fall edition features "Loved, Gifted, and Growing" (page 23).

 Constant Contact: We have been using Constant Contact for one year. Our annual amount is $168.00 which comes to $14 per month. If we were to send out to the individuals on our list of 443 individuals at a first class postal rate we would spend $217.07 each time. We have an open rate of 58% far exceeding industry standards. We do have 42% who may either read the emails without downloading pictures or simply cannot find the emails. We are still in the infancy stages of this marketing plan I would recommend staying under the 500 contact list. Newsletters continue to be FULL of information. I am currently looking at other media methods to convey information to our ladies of the diocese.
