Call for Nominees!

The time has come to call for nominees to fill upcoming vacancies in leadership. We are seeking:

• Two candidates to serve on the Vestry, for a three-year term;

• Two candidates to serve as Delegates to our annual Diocesan Convention, for a two-year term.

 

Who can make a nomination?

Any eligible voter of the parish may submit names of potential nominees. An “eligible voter” is someone who is an adult communicant (18 years of age or older) who regularly attends services more often than not, who is officially recognized as a baptized member of the congregation, who contributes financially to the parish, and who (if required) can declare themselves conscientiously attached to the doctrine, discipline, and worship of the Episcopal Church. Parishioners may self-nominate if they feel called to serve on the Vestry.

​

Who is eligible for nomination?

A Vestry nominee must fulfill the requirements of an “eligible voter,” described above. In addition, the nominee must be willing to accept responsibility for active leadership in the parish, which includes the investment of substantial time. In the case of candidates for the Vestry, they must be willing to commit to weekly attendance at worship, monthly Vestry meetings, and other scheduled Vestry activities and events. In the case of delegates to Diocesan Convention, this involves attendance at Pre-Convention and Convention meetings and active involvement at the diocesan level.

In addition to the formal qualifications contained in our Parish Bylaws, we especially encourage nominees who are prayerful and spiritually mature; who have a servant’s heart; who are good at visionary and strategic thinking; and who have skills in fiscal planning and policy.

​

To whom should nominations be made?

Nominations may be submitted via the form below. Alternatively, they (and any questions about nominations) may be sent via email to any member of the Nominating Committee, which consists of Rick Wagner (richardkwagner5219@gmail.com), Susan Robinson (surobins@me.com), and Jenna Brown (jennajacobsen1@yahoo.com). It is important to obtain the permission of your nominee before submitting his/her name in order to confirm his/her willingness to serve, if elected. All nominations must be submitted by Sunday, September 7th. The election will be held during our Annual Parish Meeting on Sunday, October 5th.
