About a year ago, I had one of the toughest conversations of my career. I had to let my management know that I would be leaving Church employment this year. It was tough because I revere and love these men and I adore my job, for many reasons. I've spent seven wonderful years here, but that's seven more than I originally intended. This week we formally announced my resignation from Church employment.
Working as the CIO for the LDS Church has been an incredible and humbling experience. I've grown, both professionally and personally.
The Church has always used and will continue to use technology to accomplish its mission. I'm honored and grateful to have played a small part.

"Small part"? How about *huge* part! You have done amazing things since you started working here Joel - I've followed it every step of the way. Thank you for your service. Will you be keeping this blog?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jesse.
ReplyDeleteThinking about keeping it. Would rename it to joeldehlin.org or something.
I think you should, Joel. I always find it by typing joeldehlin.com anyway.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed working with you, Joel.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joel for all you've done to leverage technology to build the kingdom. I've followed your blog and seen your contributions since you first took on these responsibilities years ago. I am very pleased with the progress that has been made specifically in regards to mobile app development and with the outstanding church web sites. All the best! -Brian Hall
