History

The Professional Association of United Methodist Church Secretaries (PAUMCS) was organized April 14, 1982 in Dallas, Texas. 

Since that first meeting... 

  • Conferences have been held annually;
  • Bylaws and a logo were adopted; 
  • Working committees were formed; 
  • A quarterly newsletter was established; 
  • Chapters continue to be organized across the connection

Legislation was adopted at the 1988 General Conference which states that the General Council on Finance and Administration (GCFA) has the authority and responsibility: ?To provide guidance and consultation for continuing education of church secretaries, including establishment of training and certification programs, and to provide assistance to the Professional Association of United Methodist Church Secretaries.? (Book of Discipline, 2004, Paragraph 807.19).
