SFAA Project: Re-Opening of St. Patrick's High School
Project Coordinator – Rebuild/Reopen SPHS
Charles E. Cooper, III
July 28, 2017: Charles E. Cooper III, ’84, Treasurer of SFAA, has been appointed Acting Project Coordinator for Rebuilding/Reopening SPHS. In collaboration with SFAA Chapter in Liberia, he will play a lead role in discussions with the Archdiocese about reopening St. Patrick's High School. Mr. Cooper will act in this role until we find a permanent replacement.
The Project Coordinator for Rebuilding/Reopening of St. Patrick’s falls under the domain of the Project Committee. That committee is organized as follows:
PROJECTS COMMITTEE
-
Chair - Project Committee
-
Project Coordinators - Rebuilding/ Reopening SPHS
-
USA Representative
-
Liberia Representative
-
-
Project Coordinators - STC Support
-
USA Representative
-
Liberia Representative
-
This arrangement will enable Project Coordinators to focus on their assignment while working in tandem with the national organization. Because the schools are in Liberia, the role of the Projects Coordinators in Liberia is critical to the success of SFAA's goals.
