The Bishop's Chaplaincy Committee is a board of ECP students and alumni, ECP supporters both local and in other parts of the country.
The Chaplaincy Committee meets regularly to assist the Chaplain in pursuing ECP’s mission. This can include long term strategic vision development, fundraising and alumni relations, strategic planning and maintenance of the Procter House, and promoting the professional development and accountability for the Chaplain. The Chaplaincy Committee is also tasked with mediating any conflict, concern, or grievance that may arise between the chaplain and chaplaincy community, in consultation with the Bishop.
