“Executive Director of Community Services Beverly Daniels has oversight of the Ccmmunity services programmes here in Bermuda. She collaborates with committed, skilled managers who supervise teams of caring individuals to carry out the fine work of the Salvation Army in Bermuda.

“We wish to introduce to the Bermudian community, members of the Community Council board, volunteers keenly interested in the work of the Salvation Army in Bermuda. They support the Social Services team as we work to fulfill the mission as stated previously.
“The primary remit of the council is to provide the Executive Director with administrative advice relating to programme, business and policy matters. The Community Council board also “assists the management in ensuring that the service is effectively and efficiently administered.”
“Other key responsibilities include to review on a regular basis the mission, goals and objectives and strategic plan of the institution/programme; to review established policies and procedures; and to assist management in the area of fundraising, human resources planning, property and special projects.
