Jennifer Burton Resigns as Director of Treasury Services

It was announced last week that Jennifer Burton has resigned from her position as Director of Treasury Services for the Western North Carolina Conference. Burton began her work with the Conference in June 2011, and she has resigned to pursue other opportunities. The Conference Staff, Council on Finance and Administration, Board of Trustees and the Board of Pensions were all informed last week prior to this announcement. In their announcement to the CF&A and Trustees, Laurie Guy, Chair of CF&A and Susan Irvin, Chair of Trustees, stated, “Jennifer has resigned her office to pursue other opportunities.   I know we are all sorry to see her go, but I am sure she will find a good opportunity with her talents and accounting skills.” Bishop Goodpaster adds, “She has been with us through some challenging times, including the economic crisis that has impacted so many churches, and through the transition time as we worked on restructuring and realigning our conference resources. I am grateful for her and pray that God will bless her as she pursues other interests and employment opportunities.” Information on filling this vacancy will be forthcoming.
