Report of the
Board of Higher Education
During the past year, the Board of Higher Education did not meet as reflects the recommendation offered in previous years that the Board be dissolved. Our report and recommendations are the product of email conferencing.
Changes in BFC governance required that we update the language of our previous recommendation for dissolution. Therefore, we present the following:
1. Whereas, the Board of Higher Education has found limited opportunities in recent years to provide services according to its stated purpose except for its supervision of the Pinebrook Educational Foundation; therefore be it
Resolved, that the 127th Conference dissolve the Board of Higher Education and transfer oversight of the Pinebrook Educational Foundation to the BFC Executive Board (ExecBd) to be governed according to §512–5.7 (Pinebrook Educational Foundation) of the BFC F&O.

Pinebrook Educational Foundation
2009 Annual Report
To the Board of Higher Education
The Board of Directors of the Pinebrook Educational Foundation met two times in 2009.
The Foundation received gifts totaling $4,700 in 2009, including a bequest of $2,000 from the Cora Naomi Guttman Estate.
The downturn in the national economy had a drastic effect on the Foundation’s investments. Accordingly, the Board decided that no scholarships would be granted in 2009.
Raymond Dotts and Jay Fasnacht were presented to the Board of Higher Education for approval as nominees for ratification by Annual Conference to serve on the Board of Pinebrook Educational Foundation for a three-year term ending in 2013.
Respectfully submitted,
Jay H. Fasnacht, Secretary
