Conference Center. She has worked effectively with the Fellowship of Brethren Homes, and under her leadership an emphasis on child protection was heightened and important resources developed. She contributed in numerous ways to successful Annual Conferences and collaborative staff projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKim exemplified teamwork, detailed follow-through, a caring manner, creativity, artistic talent, and servant leadership, all characterized by an excellence which consistently defined her work,\u201d said Jonathan Shively, executive director of Congregational Life Ministries. \u201cWe deeply appreciate Kim\u2019s years of service and pray for a joy-filled retirement.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kim Ebersole has tendered her resignation effective Oct. 9.
