Attachment A – WSBT Officer Reports

WSBT Q4 Quarterly Meeting / November 2024

WSBT Chair Report

Barry H

I am 3 months into my role as WSBT Chair. Serving this board and this fellowship is an honor and a privilege that will always be of paramount importance to me and practiced with humility and purpose. The current Board of Trustees continue to grow through the enormous amount of work each of us must do. God continues to show that the right people were in the right place at the right time when the current board was chosen.

This past quarter continues to be very active for the WSBT. I continue to work alongside the Vice Chair, Secretary, and Assistant Secretary on a regular basis to prepare the agenda for upcoming meetings. I presided over the New Trustee Orientation meeting as well as the Q3-Q4 quarterly conference call. During the past Quarter I have met with the WSOB Chair via Zoom to discuss the ongoing growth and operations of the WSO and the Office relocation.

I have presided over many online motions, discussions, debates, and votes over the last quarter. I have spoken with several past Trustee Chairs to discuss means and methods of chairing the WSBT various responsibilities and to discuss their experiences and processes for chairing the WSBT.

In closing, the learning process continues, and I will commit to being the best I can be at all times.

Thank you for allowing me serve.

First and foremost, I would like to sincerely apologize for my absence during the initial quarter.

I am pleased to share that my health has been improving, and I am fully prepared to dedicate myself to the committee’s initiatives for the remainder of my term. Moving forward, my primary goals will include:

  1. Actively participating in all scheduled meetings and discussions.
  2. Work with the WSBT Chair to learn the roles of the chair position.
  3. Ensuring timely and effective communication with all members of WSBT.

I remain committed to the position of the WSBT Vice Chair and will do my utmost to make meaningful contributions to our shared goals.

Thank you for your time,

WSBT Vice Chair
