 Nominations Sought for 2012 Assembly Elections

Bio Forms Due March 15

 

The Southeastern Synod Nominating Committee is currently seeking potential nominees for several positions to be elected at the 2012 Synod Assembly. Positions for which nominees are needed include:

 

 2013 Churchwide Assembly Voting Members:

 

3 Clergy (both males and females)

1 Lay male person of color or primary language other than English

1 Youth (under age 18)

1 Young adult lay person (ages 18-30)

3 Other lay persons, (so that the total is half male and half female)

 

Synod Council:

 

1 Young adult, 2-year term (male or female, ages 18-30)

2 At-large lay persons, 2-year term (gender designation to be determined)

 

The Committee's goal is to nominate two to four persons for each position. The Committee will consider individual skills and qualifications, as well as the Synod's inclusivity goals. These goals address the balance between lay persons and pastors, gender, status as a youth or young adult, and racial/ethnic background. Achieving some geographical diversity of nominees will also be a factor in the Nominating Committee's decisions.

DEADLINE for submission of biographical forms to be considered by the Nominating Committee: March 15, 2012.
