Administrative history

Office Services and Facilities existed as a separate unit within the Mennonite Board of Missions from from 1980 to 1995. Older files found in the unit's records were transferred to the unit upon its creation. Office managers who headed this department included John A. Sauder (1981-1981) and Deana Markley (1981-1995). Under the Cana Venture reorganization of 1995, Office Services and Facilities was merged with the former Personnel Department to become Human Resources and Office Services.
