UCC President Search

July 22, 2021

We need your input in the search for a new president.

As many of you know, Minner Labrador Jr. has accepted a call to serve as the vice president for multilingual ministries at the North American Division. As we prayerfully begin our search process for his replacement, we want to solicit input from a wide range of groups within the Upper Columbia Conference. The North Pacific Union administrative team will collect and collate the information from the survey below and share it with the appropriate committees. One of the sources for developing a list of potential nominees will be the survey submissions.

The survey can be accessed through the button below or directly at 
www.surveymonkey.com/r/uppercolumbiasearch.


Elder John C. Freedman, president of North Pacific Union, has written a letter to all Upper Columbia Conference members encouraging involvement and prayer in this search. Read the full letter here.


The survey has also been translated into Spanish and can be accessed at es.surveymonkey.com/r/uccbusqueda.
