Council for Health and Human Service

Leadership formation training is the central focus of program activities. The nollau institute is a year-long training and education program for mid to senior level managers of Health and Human service ministries. Through retreats, site visits, online dialogue and peer monitoring, the program helps participants explore their vocation as leaders with the support of a community of practice. Graduates will join the ranks of hundreds of previous graduates of this and its predecessor programs as diakonal ministers. Board and member staff trainings impart theory and implementation strategies on mission integration, appreciative inquiry and strategic planning. These sessions are offered around the country in a variety of settings. Some are paid consultations and some are offered in partnership with member agencies.

Business support services provided programs that reduce operating costs for member agencies including group purchasing programs such as employee benefits programs including pharmacy, Health benefits and retirement plan benefits.

Membership relations services develop and implement the annual membership meeting which supports networking and educational opportunities for member agencies. Staff and board were able to make site visits to member agencies to encourage program participation and offer additional networking opportunities. Chhsm's wider church engagement provides a formal linkage between it's members and the united church of christ.
