Dear Seminary Community,

I am very pleased to a announce to the MBBS community that the position of Director of Public Relations has been filled.  Brad Thiessen, currently Director of Media and Communications for MBMS International, has accepted my invitation to join the team here as Director of Public Relations.  Brad comes to us with a desire to expand the ministry of the seminary, in all of its locations, through printed materials, video production, working on our website, and with developing presentations for use in churches.  In addition, he desires to work with our faculty in helping them prepare materials for public presentations in seminars and workshops in the constituencies.

Brad will be charged with the responsibility of developing and managing our marketing plan and implementing it across North America.  He will become familiar with all of our locations, and assess what materials and approaches might be best for making the seminary known and available in each place.  In addition, Brad will administer our efforts to contact pastors and build relationships with churches and parachurch groups.

We welcome Brad to the staff of MBBS.  His coming fills an important vacancy.  Brad will begin on December 1, 2003.
