NOTE: On Wednesday, July 28, 2021, the PSWD Board received the written resignation of Rev. Kevin Lawson, effective immediately. He joined the Board in 2017 and served as President. While we will miss Kevin’s presence, we support him as he turns his attention toward pressing personal matters. Thank you, Kevin, for your leadership and dedication to our District, our Region and our faith. Your courage and vision will help guide us forward. Former Vice-President Janet Murphy replaces Kevin as President. Meanwhile, the Board voted David Sheh back onto the Board as an at-large member to help ensure continuity over the next few months. Thank you, David!
