Seminary Relations Staff Update
Please join me in thanking Bethany Riethmeier for her seven years of service to the seminary as our Donor Relations Manager. Bethany recently accepted a Campaign Manager role with Avivo, a Minnesota nonprofit focused in the housing, mental health services, recovery, and career development space, serving neighbors and communities across the greater metro area. We know that she will continue to use her project management, thoughtful event planning, and gracious customer service talents in new ways to support Avivo’s growing philanthropy program. Bethany’s last day with the seminary will be Friday, October 9—please wish her all the best! —Jill Kane
