Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
Grace and peace to you from God, our Creator, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I have been working very closely with the Conference Council on Finance and Administration to put in place a plan to replace our conference treasurer, Rev. Stan Sutton, upon his retirement this coming June. We are at a point in the process where your participation is critical.
First, this is a very important position within the conference and who we select is, likewise, of great significance. Please pray for those involved in the process that they may have the wisdom and discernment to identify the best candidate. Please pray that God's call to the willing and able is heard and that those who hear the call respond. Finally, please pray for the conference, whose administrative leadership impacts so many facets of the work of the church in making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
Second, please share the availability of this position with your congregation. We have redefined the position and it is now called CFO and Director of Administration of the West Ohio Conference. In addition to fulfilling the roles and responsibilities of conference treasurer as defined in The Book of Discipline, this person will serve as my chief of staff and provide broad administrative leadership on many matters of the conference, including leadership on implementing our vision, goals and objectives; human resources and benefits administration; and coordination of financial and administrative activities across the various conference and district offices. This person will continue to serve as a member of my Extended Cabinet.
The description being used in our outreach to identify the ideal candidate can be found on our conference website by clicking here. Please encourage qualified candidates you know to consider making themselves available for consideration.
Thank you for your help in ensuring your conference leadership provides the support you need to fulfill our mission in the world. May God continue to bless your faithful and fruitful work and witness.
Yours in Christ,
Bruce R. Ough
