LeAnn Wine called as General Board director of Financial Operations; Duane Steiner is interim.

LeAnn Wine, C.P.A., has accepted the General Board position of director of Financial Operations and assistant treasurer, which she will begin around March 8. She is currently a staff accountant with the firm of Trout, Ebersole and Groff, LLP in Lancaster, Pa.

For Wine, who grew up in Enders (Neb.) Church of the Brethren, this new role will fulfill a long-range goal to work within a not-for-profit organization. She is a graduate of McPherson (Kan.) College, where she was a tutor and volunteered accounting services to a variety of charities.

Until Wine can begin, Duane Steiner has contracted with the General Board to be part-time interim director of Financial Operations. He began working with outgoing director Dennis Kingery, who has accepted a position with Brethren Benefit Trust, on Jan. 27.

Steiner previously served as executive director of Annual Conference before retiring in December 2002, and before that as director of development and treasurer/business manager for Bethany Theological Seminary. He is a member of York Center Church of the Brethren, Lombard, Ill.

Steiner will serve until the end of March or until the transition to Wine has been completed.
