GARY WHITTENBURG RETURNS TO FLORIDA: VOTED NEW ADVENTIST BOOK CENTER MANAGER

by Gladys Neigel
Gary Whittenburg was voted Adventist Book Center (ABC) manager on March 19, 2013, by the Florida Conference Executive Committee. He replaces Pablo Ayala, manager since August 2006, who now manages Sunbelt Natural Foods Distribution—solely owned by Florida Conference.
This is Gary’s second term of service in Florida. In 1998, he left Florida ABC, where he worked as assistant manager for 9½ years, to become manager of Southern New England ABC in South Lancaster, Massachusetts. Fifteen years later, on May 1, 2013, he returned to Florida as ABC manager.
Gary began denominational work as an intern in Kentucky-Tennessee Conference and then served as an assistant Adventist Book Center manager in Ohio and Southern New England Conferences.
Gary and his wife, Anne, have three children: Carrie Ann, Brett, and Ryan.
