B+E+S+T (Bishops Executive Secretaries Together) is an amazing group of men and women with a wealth of expertise to share with fellow BESTies, and this is your portal to information, assistance and support. As the primary secretarial or administrative support person to an active bishop in The Episcopal Church, you are automatically an active member--and it has its benefits! Once you log in, you'll have access to member-only content, including:

• additional resources (liaisons, calendar and quick links)
• discussion forums (where active members can get expert advice from "those who know," gather information and seek support)
• member directory (find fellow BESTies [past and present] as well as their bishops)
• necrology (honoring our BESTies in remembrance of their lives and ministries, if you know of a BEST member who has passed, please submit their necrology here)
• past conferences (find out where we have been and where we are going for our next conference)
• photo gallery (find photos from our latest conference, or upload some of your own)
• resource library (templates and examples of all manor of items we use in our work, from procedure manuals to ordination certificates)

 We're quite the supportive (and informative!!) bunch, and we never hesitate to help each other and share our knowledge. There is no question you can't ask, or subject to avoid. Take advantage of this resource by participating fully; we all learn from each other, no matter the length of tenure.
