The
Northeast Area Search Committee expects to present a candidate to the
Board of Directors in early May.
“The committee received 20 very good quality profiles,” said Nancy S.
Taylor, Minister and President. She said the committee interviewed five
candidates and at press time was deciding on second interviews.
Last summer, the search committee decided to re-open the search process
and re-form the committee after being unable to agree on a candidate.
Meanwhile, the Central Area is just beginning its search process, and
is inviting people to submit names of potential candidates to take the
place of former Area Minister Richard Sparrow.
Andrew Burr, senior pastor of the First Congregational Church in Worcester,
has been chosen to chair that committee. Anyone with suggestions for
candidates can contact Burr at (508) 752-4635 or at hartleysb@charter.net,
or contact Associate for Administration Joanna Bickford at bickfordj@macucc.org
or at (508) 875-5233.
In the Western Area, Peter Wells came on as Area Minister at the end
of April, and Alan Macy finished his service as Interim Area Minister
there.
