Moving out of vocation ministry?

Tips for a positive transition


NRVC database director  Marge Argyelan is happy to help departing NRVC members register an incoming member.

If you are moving on from full-time vocation ministry, NRVC thanks you for your service and encourages you to help the incoming vocation director to get connected.  

A few tips:

♦ Consider introducing the newcomer to your fellow vocation directors at member area meetings. 

♦ Leave contact lists in Excel sheets for the incoming minister.

♦ Register the new vocation director and team members for NRVC workshops, especially the Orientation Program for New Vocation Directors offered at both the Summer and Fall Institute. 

♦ Change your membership online into the new person's name and contact information. Or contact Marge Argyelan at NRVC to ensure that the new director is properly registered with NRVC. This helps the new person receive all email and postal communications: margyelan@nrvc.net or 773-363-5454.

♦ Update your VISION contact information by contacting Dianne Potter at mail@vocationguide.org.
