"...I cannot wait for the opportunity to listen to and learn from other members of the global TEC community." -Michael Maldonado, LA State Rep
We asked a couple of our newest members what being on the Leadership Council meant to them. Michele Kordes, Indiana State Representative, said, "I’m happy to begin this new path with my extended TEC family. With Christ at the center, I hope to learn, share, and experience more in the broader scope of TEC. Thoughts, ideas, and inspirations can be gathered from TEC communities and shared so all of us can continue to keep alive the encounter with Christ while moving TEC forward as we maintain its focus and traditions."
Louisiana State Representative Michael Maldonado said, "I am beyond excited to join the Leadership Council and cannot wait for the opportunity to listen to and learn from other members of the global TEC community. As a new Council member, I hope to add a new perspective that can help TEC continue to be a profound encounter with Christ for all in the community."
We would like to thank Chris LaRosa, Dale Kreher, Janelle Stephens, and Jodi Simon, whose Council terms came to an end this month, for their service to TEC. We are so grateful for the work you have done and the time you have given to this movement.
