In 2015 COICOM organized two Religious Broadcasters Conventions called COICOM 2015 Regional. One in Bogota, Colombia with an attendance of 1,642 participants in total. The conference lasted 4 days from the 26-29 of August. The conference was free of charge to all participants. An approximate number of 350 participants came from rural communities. The second conference was held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic with an attendance of 1,084 participants in total. The conference lasted 4 days as well from September 30 - October 3. A total of 150 participants received full scholarships according to their specific needs. The conferences in both places served to equip and train them in religious broadcasting, evangelism, church media, and social care. These conventions served also as a networking platform for numerous Christian organizations coming from around the world seeking solutions to help those in need. The participants were trained and equipped with tools to reach out and support their communities through the use of Christian mass media and other communications means. Furthermore, participants received materials at no cost that will help them to train others in turn. In total we were able to offer 68 seminars, courses and plenary addresses to accomplish the mission of the organization. COICOM was able to bring in 102 speakers to these conferences who volunteered their time and services to provide the training. The courses ranged from Television, Radio and Social Media production to Leadership training in managing organizations. Over 200 local volunteers helped in serving the conference at no charge. Through this effort thousands of participants were empowered with vision and strategies in going back to their communities and make a difference toward bringing change and helping the needy. A trip was organized to Israel to take 40 Christian Broadcasters for exchange and training. The website www.coicom.com and www.coicom.org and weekly Bulletins of COICOM helped to spread news about Christian activity throughout the region and the world. COICOM also has an Online Television channel called COICOM.TV available at www.coicom.tv to provide free of charge training in the use of media and leadership issues. The free downloads of recorded seminars and courses further helped to train and equip those not able to attend our international conferences and meetings. As a result of the activity of the organization throughout the year many new Christian radio and television stations have been started, others strengthened with programming, hundreds of people received training free of charge and thousands of lives transformed with the Christian message. 12250 X 57398 57398 Stanley Jeter Chairman 2 0 0 0 Ernesto Pinto Vice Chairman 1 0 0 0 Arnold Enns President CEO 20 9210 0 0 Luis F Calvo Secretary 1 0 0 0 William Glen Volkhardt Treasurer 1 0 0 0 Janet Luttrell Vocal 1 0 0 0 Mynor Vargas Vocal 1 0 0 0 Alex Mejia Vocal 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 William Quesenberry 1315 Campo Sano Avenue Coral Gables FL 331461165 3057330091 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 83882 72802 46443 71915 68790 343832 75 92 0 15 165 347 12160 29217 3607 37692 14051 96727 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 96117 102111 50050 109622 83006 440906 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 440906 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 96117 102111 50050 109622 83006 440906 1 0.95228 0 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Scholarship Fund $6,100 to Christian News Inc for training project.
