A141 Training of Transition Consultants
Resolved, the House of Deputies concurring,
That electing dioceses are urged to engage Transition Consultants who have been thoroughly trained in programs developed or recommended by the pilot Board for Episcopal Transitions, including training in practices that have been demonstrated to improve diversity.
Explanation
The pilot Board for Episcopal Transition’s development of best practices for achieving leadership diversity goals and aspirations might achieve little progress unless the Transition Consultants used by dioceses are themselves well-versed in those best practices. It needs to be clear that this training is of an entirely different order than typical diversity training programs.
