A NOTE FROM MIKE JACOBSON - SYNOD TREASURER

Synod Finance Committee members during the past year were Rev. Cole McCormick, Estherville; Julie Sievers, Storm Lake, Kathy McEnelly, Forest City and Michael Jacobson, Emmetsburg. The finance committee oversees the financial soundness of the Synod and invests a great deal of time and energy in the budget planning process. A big “Thank You” is extended to all of the members for their efforts and assistance. In particular, I thank all of the Synod staff members, especially Bishop Lorna Halaas and Synod Office & Finance Adminstrator, Kay Broich, for their stewardship of the finances of the Synod.
