Ministry Support Team Scott Lee, Chief Administrative Officer It is an honor again this year to assist our Executive Director-Treasurer (EDT) Dr. Gary Hollingsworth, with the operation of the Convention (SCBC), Executive Board, Convention committees, and Convention staff. It is my privilege to give executive oversight for Human Resources, our Ministry Support Team which includes Building Services and Creative Services as well as continued development of staff culture and assisting the EDT with the administration and facilitation of the Convention committees. The Ministry Support Team was assembled last year and has begun to work efficiently and creatively during these changing times caused by COVID. Our processes are more streamlined in the areas of committee nominations in relation to proposed bylaw changes and how they will affect our ongoing committee structure. We have a good team serving as a means of support to the mission effort through SCBC, and it is a privilege to lead them.
