Nominations Booklet
Synod delegates have the important responsibility of electing the most gifted people possible to lead our province over the next four years. For the last ten months, the Nominations committee has been working to create a strong ballot for the 34 positions, and we are truly grateful for the many individuals who have agreed to serve in these leadership roles if elected. The Nominations Booklet is the culmination of our committee’s work. It includes a picture and information from each candidate, along with a description of each board’s work and expectations. The actual ballot is on pages 9 and 10. Please take time over the next two months to learn as much as possible from the contents of this booklet, which will hopefully be of help as you decide for whom you will vote.
Committee members: Donna Hurt and Jeff Jones (Co-Chairs), Mary Anna Arnold, David Merritt, Bob Peterson, Kay Vance, and Gitte Strauss (clerical).
