New Chair for MODEM Revd Elizabeth Welch took over the chair of MODEM from Bishop Christopher Mayfield in November 2008. Elizabeth said, ‘I am very much looking forward to working with MODEM. This continues a long standing interest I have had in leadership and management in the church. I have enjoyed writing chapters for some of the books. I look forward to exploring where the cutting edge issues are at present with regard to leadership and management, who else is doing work in these areas, how we can increase our networking, and how we link in to what the priorities of our churches are.’ Paying tribute to Chris Mayfield, MODEM secretary John Nelson said, ‘With wise counsel, he was always supportive and encouraging and was always willing to listen – even, sometimes, when this meant extending the length of a meeting beyond his self-imposed time deadlines – and always retaining his cool. He appreciated the distinction between delegation and abdication and had an excellent memory.’ John added that MODEM members will remember Chris’ period in office with affection.
