Where a Member's employment by a Participating Employer terminates upon the Member becoming an employee of another Participating Employer, the Member's Active Service shall be deemed not to have terminated.
Notes
Archbishop Morgan drew attention to Section 1.4 of the report, which read:
"The Pension Committee is recommending to the Council of General Synod that prior to approving the resolution, which is being presented by EcoJustice Committee with respect to Socially Responsible Investment Procedures, that it be referred to the Pension Committee for consultation and to report back to the next meeting of COGs."
Ms. Mason, who is retiring after 40 years of service to the Pension Plan, extended best wishes to Council and acknowledged that she will miss everyone. She has no doubts that the right choice was made when Council appointed Ms. Judy Robinson to be her successor.
