BUSINESS SESSION:

• The Conference IT Department has set up email addresses through the IONOS Email Portal. Question was asked if the Conference needed to have a Training Session to help people with logging in to the Conference email Portal…Decided that the IT Department could send out direction packets to Officers in the Conference, along with Church Secretary’s, that have been given an email address, and if there were any questions the IT Department could be notified. This email communication will help with documents that are sent between Conference Officers. This will be a way of compiling conversations and documents for future reference. IT mentioned that email addresses have already been setup for each Conference Church. Email addresses have also been setup for Conference Officers as well.
• Rev. Liston Brewington stated that the Conference needed to be moving forward and doing something. Discission was made that the Conference have virtual 5^th Sunday Union Programs via Zoom. However, before this begins the Conference will feature a Program viz Zoom entitled “Coming Together Virtually.” This program has been set for Saturday March 27, 2021, time 6:00 p.m. Sister Mary Hayes will work up the Program for that date with the help of Rev.
