The IAMSCU Board of Directors, which was elected by the IAMSCU General Assembly on April 30, 2023, and has now completed a little over one year working together, will have an in-person meeting on August 11, 2024. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the IAMSCU Board of Directors increased the times it meets virtually, taking advantage of online connections. This in-person meeting will bring the IAMSCU officers together, so they can evaluate the programs being implemented by the association and the progress made since the “Transforming Lives” Conference in the United Kingdom, in 2023.
The meeting will be held in Gothenburg, Sweden, at Gothia Hotels. President Adriana Murriello is working with the IAMSCU Executive Committee on the last details of the meeting, including a revision of the meeting agenda and other activities. The meeting is connected with an International Academic Seminar on “Community, Conciliation, and Connectionalism” being promoted b y IAMSCU (August 12-13) and the World Methodist Conference (August 14-18). All these events will be held at the same location, the Gothia Towers Hotel and the Gothenburg Convention Center.
The last time the IAMSCU Board of Directors met in person was in the United Kingdom, on April 29-30, 2023, right after the IAMSCU General Assembly. This meeting took place at Kingswood School – first Methodist school, founded by John Wesley in 1748 – and in the historic chapel of the New Room in Bristol – a building erected by John Wesley in 1739. Continuing in this spirit, the IAMSCU Board of Directors has been working to visibly reaffirm the Wesleyan heritage in education and its impact today.
