c. Subcommittees of the Board of Directors handle the details
and work them up into the proper form for recommendation,

Board of Directors so that they can meet oftener with the
boards in their Division.

d. Comptroller and Planning Counselor. We need more than
auditing. We need someone who will receive reports and
financial information, analyze them, and show trends. We
also need a man who will project the work in the future for
‘Synod as a whole and submit his recommendations to the
Board.

e. Comptroller and Planning Counselor are also going to help
the subcommittees work over the details and get the neces-
sary recommendations to the Board with all pertinent in-
formation in prepared form so that the Board itself will not
have to spend its time on time-consuming detail work.
