MRA Global Consultation, Jamaica, April 1998

The Governor General, Sir Howard Cooke, gave his vision for what MRA is meant to be and do in the world. Reviewed MRA’s governing processes: how we make decisions and choose priorities, estabish the kind of leadership needed, resolve disputes, as part of the process of renewal within MRA and discernment of our calling for the next millennium. Decision to establish a new International Coordinating Council (ICC), (later amended to International Council, or IC). Replacing the International Coordination Group, this group would be mandated to help discern priorities for our global work and marshal support. Recommended creating a Council of Elders, to advise and support the IC and to help resolve disputes as needed.
