What is the role of the Executive Director International?
The Executive Director International is the most senior management position in the Church, a position which was held by Mr. Hubbard himself until he retired from active Church management in 1966. The Executive Director International is responsible for seeing that the Scientology religion continues to expand internationally. He is assisted by 11 highly trained Church executives who are experts in each individual function performed by a Church of Scientology. These experts form the International Management Executive Committee, chaired by the Executive Director International. The Executive Director International and his Committee formulate broad planning and provide programs for Scientology organizations to carry out in areas such as the establishment of new churches and missions, production of scriptural materials, training of ministers and administrators, and provision of services to parishioners and the general public.
