SERVICE
Tell us how you would like to serve. We are currently building a CHEC database of members areas of expertise, and areas of interest for service. We will be looking for ways to connect CHEC members to ministries and service opportunities in each of the areas below: mentoring, resource sharing, international service, and other service opportunities. You can also tell us your needs- if you are looking for a mentor or know a service opportunity. We will link members to opportunities in the future.
MENTORING

We envision experienced administrators mentoring and encouraging young administrators, particularly those in ministry settings, and in international missions. Go to the CHEC forum on the CMDA Go App and fill out the survey above as we build our CHEC database of service opportunities and CHEC members who are ready to serve. Also if you are interested in becoming a better mentor, check out the Center for Well-being program - Mentoring with a Coach Approach.
SHARING
Are you interested in forming a partnership with a non-profit group in the USA or internationally? Is your system changing out used but good medical equipment that you would be willing to donate? Maybe you have openings in your system that could be filled by missionary physicians on furlough.

Fill out the interest form and go to the CHEC forums on CMDA Go App to state your need or your willingness to connect to others.
