2024 Vestry Nominating Committee
- People’s Warden
- Deputy People’s Warden (please see point 5)
- Assistant Deputy People’s Warden
- Cathedral Council (called “Advisory Board” Members by the Diocese)
- Synod Representatives and Alternates (please see point 3)
All are one-year terms with the opportunity for renewal for 3 years.
Nominations require a nominator, a seconder, and the agreement of the nominees to let their names stand. Nominations should be sent to Bill Benson at billbenson0520@gmail.com for consideration by the committee (Bob Hart, Yvonne Joseph, Bill Benson).
The Nominating Committee will produce a recommended slate for Vestry that is representative of the congregation, and considers the necessary experience and skills required. The process for choosing the slate will start by asking current eligible representatives if they are willing to stand for re-election. Next, all nominations from the congregation will be considered.
As always, the Vestry Chair will ask for nominations from the floor on the day of the Vestry meeting. All eligible nominations will be accepted.
Feel free to email billbenson0520@gmail.com if you have any further questions.
More information to come. Stay tuned.
The Wardens.
