Attention ALL Authorized Ministers
and Lay Volunteers:
In the coming weeks, the Conference will be distributing information to each of you on an exciting new Database that we will be using to house your portfolio information. As all of our Authorized Ministers already know, each year the Conference asks you to update your portfolio information with any changes in address, phone number, email, etc. Starting this year, Authorized Ministers are also required to provide information on training seminars/classes and special trainings that you have attended.
Breeze
, our new online portal to house this information, is going live on June 30. What this means is that each of you, Authorized Ministers and lay leaders alike who receive the invitation, will be receiving an email from the Conference and
Breeze
with login information. What we ask is that you attend one of three training sessions to learn how to do the tasks that will be required to be updated each year and as trainings are completed.
Please plan to attend one of these sessions: Monday, July 1 at 4 PM at the Conference Office, Monday, July 15 at 9 AM via Zoom, and Saturday, July 27 at 10 AM at the Conference Office.
The very first training session will be recorded and posted to the website, if none of these dates fit into your schedule. However, we strongly urge you to attend one of the sessions in person and log on with your computer (if you have a laptop to do so) or at home on July 15. These will be informal training sessions to introduce you to the web portal and how to work with the areas that you will need to update. We look forward to seeing you at a training session!
Thanks,
Christian Creyer, Treasurer & Search and Call Associate/PNEC
