Amended Bylaws
Clarify and strengthen the formal governance foundation.
Research Identity
A governed record of the Dissertation-in-Praxis
This page presents the professional and evidentiary representation of Jermaine E. Whiteside’s Dissertation-in-Praxis. The project addresses a governance application gap at Anointed Connect Church, Inc.: formal governance provisions exist, but operational procedures are required to convert those provisions into reliable, documentable practice.
The dissertation record documents the formal implementation pathway, CLED 888 weekly updates, defense preparation, and dissertation-specific scholarly explanations. Applied ecosystem work is maintained separately and cross-linked only when a material dissertation relationship exists.
Praxis Problem
From formal governance to functioning governance
The central problem is not the absence of governance documentation. It is the absence of operational governance infrastructure: procedures, tools, training mechanisms, and accountability processes capable of activating provisions already established in the organization’s governing documents.
Governance latency
The organizational state in which bylaws or policy documents establish governance provisions that have not been converted into reliable operational practice.
Strategic Intervention
Six coordinated governance deliverables
The Chapter Three strategic plan operationalizes governance through an integrated set of tools rather than isolated policy artifacts.

Decision-Rights Matrix

Weekly Governance Update Sequence
Evidence → explanation → distribution
Each CLED 888 implementation week can produce one governed record, one defense-question mapping, and one 3–5 minute narrated scholarly update.

Research Boundary
The evidentiary feed is not the research dataset.
Public records do not disclose participant information, interview transcripts, emerging findings, confidential implementation materials, or committee-controlled content. The feed documents the scholarly and operational process surrounding the dissertation while protected research materials remain within the appropriate controlled environment.
