### The interview and discussion:

Technology and the COP – WELS Conference of Presidents (COP) is made up of Presidents from each of WELS 12 districts. Pastor Joel Zank from [Mt. Olive](https://www.mountoliveappleton.com/) in Appleton, WI serves as the President of the Northern Wisconsin District. Recently he and others worked closely with our Technology team to implement a major rewrite of the Call System used by the COP to search for candidates to fill called positions.
