AC2020:

CFA & BOP Reports for Annual Conference

       2020 has turned out to be -- just weird. We're all trying to figure out how to get normal things done in a very non-normal environment. Holding Annual Conference online is a very big shift for all of us.
 
       Your Conference Council on Finance and Administration and your Conference Board of Pension & Health Benefits realize we find ourselves in a unique place as we draw closer to a virtual session of the Annual Conference. Our goal is to make sure you are fully informed about the reports from our committees that you will be voting on during the conference. Our areas involve funding and decisions which impact churches and clergy. We want to be sure you have ample time to make good decisions.
 
       I hope that you have familiarized yourself with the reports found in the Book of Recommendations and Reports (BOR). The full Board of Pensions & Health Benefits report can be found on pages 24-35. The full CFA report can be found on pages 35-49.

       Conference happens fast when it is online! I want you to have the opportunity to review all of the materials at your own pace, and have your questions answered. Therefore in addition to the written reports, we have already posted the actual video reports we will be using during the online Annual Conference sessions. You should view these prior to our Annual Conference session on Saturday, Aug. 14, to ensure that any questions that may occur to you can be answered. This will also give you plenty of time to draft any motion you might choose to make.

       Once you view the videos, please submit any questions you have so we can address them prior to Annual Conference or can prepare to address them during the virtual conference session.  Submitting your question ahead of time does not restrict you from asking it during Annual Conference, but it does allow us to clarify information questions clearly.

       You can also email me directly, and I'll help you as best I can.

       Remember, you can find all of the dates relating to Annual Conference here, along with other conference materials.

       If I or our office can be of any assistance to you, do not hesitate to contact us.
