Instead of giving hard answers to recent budget questions, new Catholic Relief Services CEO Sean Callahan turned them back to his team — a new, cross-divisional group composed of representatives from finance, overseas operations, donor engagement, legislative affairs and fundraising.
“Of course I want a balanced budget and to reduce budget deficit … but I want to know what they recommend first,” Callahan told Devex during a visit to CRS projects in Niger.
CRS has already established cross-divisional teams for strategy, staff engagement, board and foundation engagement, and their 75th anniversary; more will be created in the future according to agency priorities.
