Scope and
Content
The
bulk of these records date from 1979-2001, when Services and Facilities
were a
separate department (1979-1995). However,
one should note the significant historical files dating from 1947-78,
such as
the Social Committee, 1958-1975," and "Secretaries and Administrative
Assistant Staff Meetings, 1961-1978."
One
should make note of two "audiovisuals" connected with the main
offices of Mennonite Board of Missions, at 500 S. Main St.,
Elkhart, Indiana. These
"centralized" office existed
at this location from 1974-2006.

Historical
Sketch of Department
The MBM
office
services and facilities staff officially became a department separate
from the
Executive Office in April 1980. John A. Sauder, Office Manager, was the
first
director of this department. On September 1, 1981, Deana Markley became
Office
Manager and department director August 1982. Deana remained in that
position
until her retirement in January 1995. Ethel Hoffman became interim
director
until results from the Cana Venture reorganization were known.
In 1995, with
the Cana
Venture reorganization, office services functions of the Services and
Facilities department were merged with the former Personnel Department
and
named Human Resources and Office Services with Rachel Stoltzfus as the
department director. Ethel Hoffman became Coordinator of Office
Services at
that time. The organization and staff of Office Services changed again
with
GC/MC integration, with a new organization being in place by February
1,2002.
These files include some files much older than 1980 because they were
in a
group of files transferred to the Services and Facilities Department at
its
inception. Some files end quite recently because the activity has
discontinued. [Historical Sketch written
by Ethel Hoffman,
October 2001]
