Newell Smith has been appointed interim district superintendent for the Upstate New York district. General Superintendent Carla Sunberg made the appointment in consultation with the Upstate New York District Advisory Council, USA/Canada Regional Director Bob Broadbooks, and the Board of General Superintendents.

Most recently, Smith served as superintendent of the Philadelphia District (1999-2018). He also served pastorates in Washington D.C., New York, and Ohio.
