On October 29, 2020, the North American Division Executive Committee met virtually during the 2020 NAD Year-End Meeting (YEM) to receive the name of Elden Ramirez, the recommendation for division undersecretary, from the North American Division’s standing nominating committee. Ramirez was confirmed in a vote of 209 to 19.

Kelly Butler Coe, directora de arte y diseñadora gráfica de la revista Visitor de la Unión de Columbia, fue ascendida recientemente a directora asociada durante la reunión del Comité Ejecutivo de la Unión de Columbia.

Junto con sus deberes de diseño y dirección de arte, Coe ayuda a administrar varios proyectos, incluida la carrera de este año de 5 Km realizada por el aniversario de la revista Visitor, la promoción de la iniciativa 2021 Año de la Biblia de la unión y el calendario anual de la unión.

“Nuestra oración es que Dios continúe bendiciendo el servicio de Kelly y su dedicación a la excelencia”, agrega Celeste Ryan Blyden.
