Woodbury to assume director's post for MVAC

YOUNGSTOWN

The Rev. Dr. Robin Woodberry adds another responsibility to her list of multi-tasking today as she becomes the new executive director of Mahoning Valley Association of Churches.

The Rev. Mrs. Woodberry is assistant pastor of New Bethel Baptist Church, where she oversees church administration and the youth and children’s ministries. She also is involved in Church Women United Youngstown Area, serves on various community boards and is the wife of Anthony Woodberry and mother of five.

Earlier this summer, the Rev. Robbin Del Nagro resigned as executive director of MVAC, a position she held for about a year. That move was prompted by a change at Poland Presbyterian Church, where she was asked to serve as temporary senior pastor. She was pastoral associate.

The Rev. Mrs. Del Nagro said she suggested Mrs. Woodberry to fill the position “I knew Robin from ACTION events,” she said. Mrs. Del Nagro said she had led a group from her congregation on a pilgrimage to churches of other traditions. They visited New Bethel Baptist, where Mrs. Woodberry spoke to them. “Robin has such a heart for ecumenical activities. I knew she would be perfect for the job,” Mrs. Del Nagro said. She also noted that Mrs. Woodberry has “experience and knowledge working with inner city and outlying churches.”
