A strong internal candidate who is qualified for the role was recommended, Deb Bullock-Smith. The committee agreed that filling David Strong’s position internally was a smart move, and having reviewed Deb’s resume against the job description, along with the recommendation of both David Strong and Michelle, that this was a wise staffing decision for the church. This staff change opens Deb’s position, and Holly Temming has expressed interest in stepping into Deb’s current role. The committee also agreed that this was a wise transition. The Governing Board agreed with the recommendation of the Search Committee on both staffing changes, so Michelle proceeded with announcing the staffing changes in an e-blast. There are other staffing matters that Michelle is discussing with the PPRC throughout the month of June, and once those discussions are final, there will be more information to share with the Governing Board and the congregation. At this point, the Governing Board entered Executive Session where the following items were discussed: Finance, Sustainability and Town Hall preparations. • New Business – All • September Town Hall planning to focus on pledge updates, Second Mile Giving, and 2026 budget strategy. • Campus security during services flagged for future discussion; work with safety team ongoing. • Active shooter policy confirmed; staff and ushers trained. • Closing / Adjournment Meeting adjourned at 6:35 PM.
