Get to Know Lynn
When can I reach you?
Email is the best way to connect so I can track your request. I work remotely and visit the Yorktown office a few times a month as needed.
What brings you joy outside of work?
My family, my dog Clark and jigsaw puzzles!
What surprises people about you?
That I’m addicted to true crime podcasts….
What’s your favorite part of this work?
Church folks are loving and supportive, and that makes it a joy to work here. Where else will you hear “I’m praying for you” multiple times daily?
What else would you want folks to know about who you are and/or what you do?
I serve in leadership in PAUMCS (Professional Administrators of the United Methodist Connectional Structure), and we are working hard to provide support to the church admins and pastors across the conference. Please let me know if there are speakers or topics that would be helpful to you.
