The California-Nevada conference 2023 budget, which was approved at ACS 2022, includes funding for a new staffing plan. The Annual Conference requested that the Core Team (CT) and Council on Finance and Administration (CFA) review the plan to make sure it aligned with our conference priorities: congregational development; leadership development; and our missional response to the disasters we continue to experience in California and Nevada.
Both the CT and CFA, who submitted the staffing plan and budget request to the Annual Conference, met during the fall of 2022 and affirmed the staffing plan. The plan was originally developed by Executive Director of Connectional Ministries, Jorge Domingues, in collaboration with members of the conference program team and input from the Cabinet.

Ordained elders under appointment are welcomed to apply for open conference positions to which they feel called. Consistent with ¶343.3, “elders desiring an appointment extending the ministry of the United Methodist Church or change of appointment shall consult with their bishop and/or district superintendent prior to any interviews relative to such appointment.” Conference positions filled by elders generally fall under ¶344.1.a.1 as an extension ministry within the connectional structures of United Methodism.
