Executive Committee for the 2010-2011 Term

 
Heather Cohen, President

I started working for the First United Methodist Church of Ozark in 2008.  Soon after starting my employment, I was introduced to PAUMCS and have found it to be a valuable resource.  Since joining PAUMCS, I have attended several career institutes, one national conference, received my certification in 2009, and held several positions on the Executive Committee.  I’m looking forward to this coming year.  We have many plans to grow and improve our Chapter.  I want to encourage each of you to let me know what you want from OUR Chapter.  Your ideas and input are necessary for the growth of our organization.  I look forward to hearing from each of you.
