Recruitment, Retention, Mobilization, and Training of the Woman Chaplain
Abstract
The objective of this study was to provide this office with information, recommend programs and strategies designed to contribute to the recruitment, retention, mobilization and training of women chaplains. Although the study identified some specific techniques and provided some positive recommendations, it was not specifically addressed to women; it was too general. Responses/conclusions did not address the tasks outlined in the schedule of deliverables. Much of the information provided by the contractor was data already known to this office. Some of the recommendations are controversial. It is apparent that the contractor performed a great deal of research. However, the results of the firm's research were not provided in meaningful forms and conclusions which could be implemented by DACH. We are of the opinion that there is much more useful information that the contractor has, but which he has not provided to this office. At a briefing of the draft final report, the contractor was asked to modify portions of his preliminary fidnings; to indicate in a more specific manner how they addressed the issues relating to women. This request was not adequately addressed. A number of recommendations were included in the Executive Summary. However, they do not substantially state the 'how to' implement the same. (3) Conclusions: The contractor summarized attitudes and opinions of individuals interviewed. He, im most instances, merely substantiated facts/ideas which were already known by DACH. Implementation: DACH will review the recommendation summaries to extract whatever portions can be utilized.
