\"How<\/p>\n

I am a binder girl.<\/p>\n

I love a well-organized binder.<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

So much so that I gave everyone on the team a Women’s Ministry binder.<\/h3>\n

This last time used some restraint and didn’t include pre-labeled tabs. My fellow type-A girls, you know what I mean. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t give up the files on my laptop for anything, but a binder can be just as important and useful.<\/p>\n

Here’s a quick run-down of what goes in our team’s binders:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Our Mission Statement<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Team Member<\/a> list with contact information (email, address, home phone, and cell phone) and titles<\/li>\n
  3. Calendar<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Budget<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Job descriptions <\/a>(at least for that position)<\/li>\n
  6. Section for meeting notes and\/or agendas<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. Them for the year and corresponding verse<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. Post Event Evaluation Forms<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Other possible forms that your church may utilize:<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Room reservation form<\/li>\n
    2. Calendar request form<\/li>\n
    3. Reimbursement form<\/li>\n
    4. Publicity Form<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      I like to get the hole-punch plastic pockets and insert catalogs, catering menus, etc. rather than messing with scanning them. Page protectors are great for that type of thing too.<\/p>\n

      While I encourage the team to bring their binders by toting along with my own, I don’t make an issue out of it. Each person has their own organization style. For those that need a little help, it’s there.<\/p>\n

      Per request, I have compiled a resource of women’s ministry binder tools and forms<\/strong> and made them available for purchase. You can check out the Women’s Ministry Binder Essentials here.<\/a> <\/p>\n

      What other items do you include in your Women’s Ministry Team binder?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
