The Pastoral Care Summit Care Services/Staff Development Task Force had worked on both the Essential Functions of a Board Certified Chaplain and Spiritual Leadership Competencies. To grow in the profession as a board certified chaplain, and to prepare oneself for current/future leadership roles, one can be helped by learning from those experienced in the profession/ministry. The Task Force seeks now to encourage mentor/mentee relationship among our members that can help members learn and develop the skills, knowledge, and abilities to grow in their professions.

Since that Summit, task forces comprised of participants in that Summit and other representatives of Catholic Health systems continue to meet, including: metrics, recruitment, education/credentialing, and care services/staff development.
