A seven-member Covenant Communications team was on hand throughout the four-day meeting providing daily news coverage, taking photos, operating the online Covenant Bookstore resourcing area, and live broadcasting the evening services.<\/p>\n
“This year’s online news coverage was the most comprehensive to date,” said Don Meyer, executive director and editor of Communications operations. A new feature was introduced this year – video segments of key presentations and awards – with links to the videos embedded in individual stories.<\/p>\n
Stories were written and posted throughout each day, available on the Covenant website within a few minutes of a given decision or presentation during the business sessions on Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n

Greg Neumarke of the Covenant technology department handled installation and maintenance of all the on-site technical equipment, while Heidi Griepp, Internet Services manager, created gallery photo pages from the Chicago offices.<\/p>\n
Staff will continue to process various stories, photos, and video elements this coming week and post additional material and resources to the Covenant website.<\/p>\n
