Corporate Services department is responsible for ensuring the Corporate and Administrative needs are met for the entire organization including the management of Corporate Services budget.  The following areas are some of the things that Corporate Services is responsible for:

General Council Meetings

Almost all meetings that occur in General Council are arranged and coordinated through the Corporate Services department.  This includes room set up, ordering lunch and/or snacks, recording minutes for the meeting, sending notices, materials and arranging any audio visual equipment needed for the meeting.

Personnel

Corporate Services is responsible for the recruitment, selection and orientation of new staff to MSGC. We also assist the other departments in administering the Personnel Manual as well as any other human resource questions they may have.

Internal Office Space

When a new employee or contractor is hired to work for MSGC, Corporate Services is responsible for providing office space, equipment, telephones etc. required for the individual to carry out their job.  This includes the management of all fixed assets and equipment for the organization. Our department handles the assignment of keys and alarm codes for all staff in MSGC.  Any security issues that arise are handled by the Director of Corporate Services.

Coordination of MSGC Functions and Events

Corporate Services coordinates all the MSGC events and functions required for meetings, workshops and retreats.  These functions generally involve the full Assembly or a select working committee that require space larger than the 3rd floor boardroom in Centurion Plaza. This department along with any volunteers coordinates and implements the various MSGC events that occur throughout the year.  There is a lot of time and administrative skills that go into organizing and facilitating an event for a large group. 

Generally, if there are minimal problems or the event runs smoothly, then you know there was maximum effort put into administering it.  From finding a venue to selecting food and beverage, contracting individuals to facilitate, travel and hotel arrangements, donations, promoting and marketing, actual implementation and all the other "spur of the moment" issues that arise during an event. 

Advertising and Promotions

All events that require advertising and promotional items are coordinated through this

department including all promotional materials for MSGC
