The GC board of directors held its 2025 Winter meeting February 25-28 in Denver, Colorado. All twelve members of the board were in attendance: Dennis O’Banion (chairman), Kirk Grant (vice-chairman), Wayne Hrenyk (secretary), Greg Lincoln (treasurer), Ruben Beard, Narciso Bentances, Ron Cummings, Tim Endecott, Daniel Flores, Jr., Neftali Hernandez, Raul Romo, and Ruben Zaragoza. Also in attendance were President Loren Stacy, Executive Director Jody McCoy, and (for several hours) accountant Dawn Wayman.
Each day, the board began with worship, God’s Word, and prayer. During this year’s meeting, the board performed most of its annual duties. It received reports and a recommended annual budget from staff; performed its annual evaluation of the GC president; reviewed its board Policies Manual; considered the GC president’s 2025 goals; adopted a budget for the coming fiscal year (April 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026); and considered and acted upon various motions proposed by its members.
The highlight of this meeting was the board’s selection of Greg Lincoln to succeed Loren Stacy as GC president, effective the end of the 2025 GC Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah (see page 1 article).
The board of directors is responsible to oversee the General Conference on behalf of the membership when the membership is not “in session.” The board fulfills this duty largely by appointing a president and holding him accountable. Members (18 years or older) who have registered to vote in the convention business session can help elect members to the board of directors.
