His responsibilities include oversight of the General Conference Constitution and Bylaws, General Conference Working Policy, and the coordination of agendas and minutes for major leadership gatherings such as General Conference Session, Annual Council, Spring Meeting, and officer meetings. He also serves as liaison officer to the South Pacific Division and the Southern Africa-Indian Ocean Division.
A native of Mauritius, Moorooven has served the church in Réunion, Madagascar, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in theology from the Adventist University of Central Africa in Rwanda and a master’s in leadership from the Adventist University of Africa in Kenya.
