- The committee’s charge is to build and enhance Federations relationship with its key local agencies, manage the oversight of each agency, discuss communal trends, and identify areas of concern.
- Through an in-depth review process, the ASC establishes the guidelines and oversees the relationship between agencies receiving Federation funding and the Federation. The ASC sets policies and procedures (such as reporting requirements) for agencies and ensures that beneficiary agencies programs and services are in line with the Federation vision and constantly striving for excellence.
- Broken up into 7 working subcommittees representing Federation’s 6 largest local beneficiaries (Miami Beach JCC, Alper JCC, Michael Ann-Russel JCC, Jewish Community Services, Florida Hillels, and the Center for Advancement of Jewish Education) and the Financial Review Subcommittee.
- The Financial Review Subcommittee meets every other month (September-May) to monitor the fiscal health and sustainability of the agencies and acts as an early warning system to protect our community’s investment.
- Subcommittees meet with the senior management and lay leadership of each agency 3 times a year (November-April). Meetings include an update on the state of the agency. The third subcommittee meeting is a review of the agency budget proposal for the following year.
- ASC reports to the Planning and Distribution Committee (PDC), its work influences the basic funding decisions and helps guide the community’s planning agenda and strategy.
