Wespath’s New CEO Committed to CCP Program

While Wespath has a new general secretary and CEO, Andrew (Andy) Hendren is anything but new to the pension agency and the inner workings of the UMC.

Hendren became general secretary in January 2022 after previously serving as the agency’s general counsel/chief legal and governance officer. He replaces Barbara Boigegrain, who retired in December 2021 and was one of the driving forces behind the formation of the CCP program. Hendren has been with Wespath since 2004, and has spearheaded Wespath legislation for the UMC's General Conferences in 2016, 2019 and 2020, which was postponed.

In the forthcoming CCP Report Hendren wrote, "[Wespath is] committed to serving as a bridge-builder throughout the world and we look forward to continuing this mission of caring for those who serve globally through the CCP program. As Wespath’s new general secretary, I pledge to continue our work with 69 annual and provisional conferences to build sustainability of your pension programs for future generations."
