Over the summer months CBHD staff worked with Emilee Tullar, an undergraduate student from Trinity International University, to upload over 600 audio addresses (including plenaries and paper sessions) from the Center’s annual summer conferences from 1994–2013. These resources are available to all active members of the Center through our website www.cbhd.org. (To become a member, sign up at https://cbhd. org/membership.)
WITH GRATITUDE
Without the assistance of our part-time office, event, and research staff, many of the things that CBHD does would not be possible. All of us at the Center wish to extend special thanks to the following staff for their contributions to the work of the Center under their respective tenures. We wish them well in their future endeavors.
Tyler Chernesky (Event & Education Assistant) R. Daniel Dake, MA (Research Assistant) Jenna Perrine (Office Assistant)
CBHD also saw Glory Diaz, MPM (Communications Manager & Executive Assistant) leave in early July after four years with the Center, due to her family relocating across the country. Amongst many other things, Glory was instrumental in raising the aesthetic quality of the Center’s various print and electronic resources including this publication. Her joyous presence will be greatly missed among the staff.
CBHD welcomed two new part-time staff over the summer: Lindsay Callaway (Office Assistant) and Ryan Silhavy (Event & Education Assistant). Both are incoming graduate students in Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Efforts to fill the remaining positions are in process.
