Nashville, August 13, 2020 – The headquarters building of The United Methodist Publishing House (UMPH) in Nashville, TN remains closed due to the coronavirus emergency. The John Dickins House offices have been closed and UMPH staff have worked remotely since mid-March, and the earliest the building could reopen is the end of September, contingent upon COVID-19 developments.
Meeting July 31, 2020 via teleconference, the UMPH Board of Directors approved a plan to transition to a permanent remote work arrangement. UMPH management will use the next weeks to fashion appropriate solutions to assure staff effectiveness and efficient operations, and to evaluate options regarding the future use of the New House Commons campus facilities.
