Useful details
Begin with understanding.
What does being on retainer mean?
An organization reserves a defined amount of continuing advisory or development capacity for an agreed period. The written scope sets the work, deliverables, communication rhythm, fee, and review arrangements.
How is the fee established?
Share your priorities, timing, team size, and budget context. A tailored written proposal specifies the fee, billing schedule, capacity, scope changes, and renewal or conclusion arrangements. Any workshop, travel, licensed resource, or specialist contribution is identified in that proposal.
How do we communicate?
The working relationship begins through written intake and email exchange. One designated organizational contact consolidates questions, materials, and decisions. Any live component has an agreed purpose, duration, fee, and schedule within the scope.
Can a workshop be part of the retainer?
Yes. A proposal can include preparation, facilitation, participant materials, and follow-through for an agreed workshop. The existing event catalog remains the source for confirmed public dates and registration.
How does Christian faith shape the work?
Convergence Q45 is rooted in Christian faith. Each proposal describes the intended faith content and participation expectations. Prayer, Scripture reflection, and spiritual formation activities follow the expressed preference and context of the organization and participants. Local pastoral and organizational leadership retain their responsibilities.
How does the 2027 American Field Year connect?
An ongoing remote engagement can support preparation and follow-through around an agreed gathering. In person participation depends on a confirmed destination, availability, and an agreed event scope. Confirmed dates appear in the existing calendar.
How are service arrangements established?
The proposal and agreement identify the legal service provider, scope, fee, resource permissions, confidentiality arrangements, and organizational responsibilities. Work begins after the applicable agreement and payment arrangements are completed. Charitable support has its own partnership pathway.
What should we include in an inquiry?
Describe the organizational need, desired outcomes, decision timing, primary contact, and relevant budget context. Share general program information suitable for an initial inquiry. Detailed materials can follow through an agreed exchange process.
