Brewer will be responsible for strengthening relationships between annual (regional) conferences and general council as well as continued oversight of the general council's data collection, record-keeping and research functions. "Scott has built solid relationships with many in annual conference leadership and this promotion is recognition of work that has already begun," said the Rev.
