Fred Osborn has been named planned giving officer for the Episcopal Church Foundation. He coordinated a diocesan network of planned giving officers for the national Episcopal Church until budget reductions caused a reconfiguration of the operation last year. Osborn said that he believes that the biggest intergenerational transfer of wealth in U.S. history will take place in the next 10 to 15 years. "During this time," he said, "seven to 10 trillion dollars will change hands, as baby boomers inherit fortunes from their parents. Episcopalians may well transfer upwards of $200 billion dollars. Will some of that be destined for the church?"

Tim Holder was recently elected to the board of trustees of the Association of Episcopal Colleges. He served as director of development for the Presiding Bishop's Fund for World Relief, Mission Planning and Development. He is currently enrolled in the master of divinity program at Harvard Divinity School.
