On Sun., May 18, the Indiana Conference held its 39th Constituency Session at Indiana Academy in Cicero. Walter L. Wright, president of the Lake Union Conference, chaired the opening of the session. Prior to the session, the nominating committee had completed its task and presented a report that day which affirmed each of the current officers and directors and called for them to continue serving the Indiana Conference during the next four-year session. The constituents overwhelmingly supported the return of the current officers and departmental directors.

Re-elected were Gary Thurber, president; George Crumley, secretary/treasurer; Gary Case, trust services/stewardship/religious liberty director; Mark Haynal, education superintendent; Peter Neri, ministerial/evangelism/church ministries director; and Charlie Thompson, youth ministries director.

Gary Thurber, newly re-elected president, then chaired the rest of the session.

The major agenda item was a report from the articles and bylaws committee. They had worked to incorporate significant changes to bring the Indiana Conference into harmony with recommended policies from the North American Division. During their report, each proposed change was presented and explained. The changes were accepted and implemented.

Another agenda item dealt with progress on the sale and relocation of the conference office due to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) limited access freeway project. Current INDOT plans will land lock the conference office site. It was voted to continue the plans to rebuild the conference office as set forth at a special constituency meeting in 2006. Following discussions and input from constituents at town hall meetings, any residual funds from the property's sale and relocation will be allocated by the Conference Executive Committee.
