Wellspring Leadership Team (WSLT)
Role: Wellspring Leadership Team (WSLT)
Purpose
The WSLT drives the annual Wellspring cycle at Foothills. It recruits and supports facilitators, manages participant enrollment, coordinates with staff, and ensures continuity of the program year over year.
Membership
The team is composed of Wellspring graduates who volunteer to serve. The team reflects on its own makeup each January and discerns whether to invite new members or rotate off. The WSLT is functional for a focused period each spring/summer, typically meeting 4-6 times between spring and August.
Current and past members are tracked in PCO: Wellspring Leadership Team Members
