What services do you provide for the people of the Wisconsin United Methodist Church: Researching and entering the information on the appointments to the conferences that make up today what is known as The United Methodist Conference. I am now working with the following conferences: the Methodist Episcopal Church, East and West; the Church of the United Bethren; the Wisconsin Evangelical Church; the Chicago Deufche Konferenz. We are also establishing a database of the biographical information of the pastors. This information assists the archives in researching information on churches and people for historical events; i. e., the anniversaries, celebrations, genealogical, etc.

What you enjoy most about your job: Helping people.

A dream you have for your particular area of work: Better equipment and space to do a better job of preserving the history of Methodism in Wisconsin.
