Lauren Kinard Elected to B+E+S+T Board

Lauren Kinard, Executive Assistant to the Bishop and Diocesan Administrator, was elected last week to the B+E+S+T Board as Member-at-Large at the group’s virtual Annual Meeting on Friday. B+E+S+T is a professional association of men and women who support Episcopal Bishops with the mission to empower each other through networking and education.

The Member-at-Large position is a two-year term and Lauren will work with the group’s provincial representatives and also coordinate education and gatherings for new B+E+S+T members (known as B+E+S+Ties) that start in between conferences. The picture above shows Lauren (back row, second from the right) with other Province IV representatives at last year’s conference.
