The purpose of the PI is to discern emerging realities of religious life... to suggest speakers for programs and to suggest topics for webinars and other offerings.

The Conference re-established the Program Advisory Committee (PAC) in September 2021 to advise, discern alongside, and guide the RFC in offering quality, innovative, timely and relevant programs. In April 2024, the RFC Board of Directors voted to rename the committee to the Programs and Initiatives Advisory Committee (PI) and make it a subcommittee of the board, to solidify a partnership among leadership bodies.

The purpose of the PI is to discern emerging realities of religious life, to advise the Program Manager regarding revision of current programs and creation of new offerings, to suggest speakers for programs, and to suggest topics for webinars and other offerings.

The PI meets approximately six times a year. Members serve a two-year term renewable once.
