Melissa McGill to Serve as Director of Communications

Please join us in welcoming the newest member to the Western North Carolina Conference staff, Melissa McGill, in the role of Director of Communications, effective August 20th.    Melissa received her undergraduate degree from Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC, and a Master’s Degree in Mass Communication from the University of South Carolina, School of Journalism and Mass Communications. 
 
Melissa’s most recent role as Assistant Director of Communications for Myers Park United Methodist Church has prepared her well for this role.  Prior to joining Myers Park, she served in a similar role at Weddington United Methodist Church, and  prior to that as the Communications Manager for the Cabarrus County Convention and Visitors Bureau.  In her previous roles, she managed strategic digital communication for large congregations, coordinated website redesign, and developed overall strategy for communication (including social media, press releases, on-line and printed materials.)  
 
In this Conference position, Melissa will support the Bishop and conference in ensuring the communication of all relevant information in a timely manner as well as developing best practices to assist churches in spreading the gospel.  We are excited about the gifts and passion she brings to this position.
