1 Diane s Retirement Transition The purpose of this document is to address the immediate need of ensuring a smooth (as possible) transition due to Diane s retirement. There are both short-term and long-term aspects of these transitions. Most of what is provided here is short-term focused. Longer-term aspects of planning will still need to occur, however, and will include analyzing pastoral and staff roles, revising job descriptions as needed, aligning the call agreement with job description, installing Rev. Nikki into the expanded role of Executive Minister, and onboarding clerical support staff member. Time Line of Diane Baker s Retirement June 2017: Diane Baker formally announced her retirement plans Jan Jun 2018: Diane created task list June 2018: o Mapped Diane s task list to people who will take over o Rev. Nikki has set with Diane to understand tasks o Clergy/Staff established annual summer coverage plan Next steps o Update credit card information on accounts o Update contact information on accounts o Celebrate Diane. June 30, 2018: Diane retires. Task List to Cover Diane Baker s Self-Identified Job Duties What follows is a task list created by Diane Baker. Next to each task, is the preliminary evaluation of what role will be responsible for that task. In the short-term, Rev. Nikki will be covering the Clerical and Executive Minister roles. However, assuming both roles is not a sustainable or permanent solution. Therefore, the next steps in this transition process involve engaging in longer-term solution planning (i.e., hiring of a clerical support staff). Please note: this is not a comprehensive job description for any role. Individual roles/committees listed have other job duties that are not listed here.
