What services do you provide for the people of the Wisconsin United Methodist Church: In a very real sense, I am the "voice of the Foundation." When persons call or write to the Foundation office, I am frequently the first person they encounter. It is my responsibility to ensure that their questions or needs are addressed in a prompt and friendly manner. While I can often personally handle their request, for more technical advice/service I will direct them to the appropriate staff person. In addition, I am responsible for maintaining and keeping current all of our office files, documentation and record keeping.

I also serve as the Fund for Discipleship Campaign Coordinator. I track the status of the campaign and coordinate fund availability with the Board of Camping and Retreat Ministries and the Board of Congregation and Parish Development. In as cost-effective method as possible, I communicate with the congregations the progress being made toward the goals of the campaign.
