Procedures

The following items need to be taken into consideration when building council RRI Teams:

1. Establish who the council support person will be. 

If your council already has a staff person responsible for developing religious relationships, that staff member could also be the support person to the RRI Team. Councils with large memberships or large geographic territories might want to consider dividing this responsibility among several staff members.

2. Determine how many RRI Teams will be needed.

Small councils may only need one RRI Team to service the entire council. Larger councils may need several RRI Teams to cover specific geographic areas. Council membership and geographic territory will be determining factors for this decision.

3. Establish a budget.

The budget for the RRI Team will include the following items: 
• Sample curriculum booklets and recognition items. Having actual booklets and recognition items is an effective way to promote the religious programs. Initially this could be a small sampling of pins and books, but make it part of the budget to increase your display materials to include as many faiths as possible. Contact the appropriate faith groups to purchase these materials. Decide how many sets will be needed.
• A display case (for the sample recognition items). This can be a simple shadow box or a larger tabletop display.
• Printing of brochures and business cards for RRI Team members.
