Nominations for Vestry Class of 2027

 

Each year Trinity’s Nominating Committee, which consists of the Senior Class of the Vestry, meets to consider names, holds conversations with potential nominees and prepares a slate of candidates to be approved at the Annual Parish Meeting in November. This year, Ralph Simpson, Jennifer Pearson, Matt Sharpe, Connie Wilson and I will serve on the Nominating Committee.

 

To serve on the Vestry, the nominee must be:

• a confirmed member of the Episcopal Church

• age 18 years of age or older

• a member of the parish for twelve months

• an active, pledging member of the parish for at least twelve months before the election

• available for the Vestry Retreat on January 10 & 11, 2025. 

 

I cannot stress enough the importance of the parish’s role in providing names of members who are open to serving on the Vestry for the Nominating Committee to consider. One might think, “I would like to do that, but I am too _____ (fill in the blank)”, and that makes sense with out busy lives. However, personally I discovered that not only do I have time to serve but that serving on the Vestry is one of my life's most fulfilling opportunities. I encourage you to think of individuals to submit or consider submitting your name. 

 

This is an open and welcoming process. Ultimately, the nominating committee will recommend a slate of five candidates to the parish at our Annual Meeting on November 17.

 

The Nominations Committee will begin accepting names from September 1st through September 30th.  To submit a name for consideration scroll down to the form.

 

If you have any questions, you may contact any member of the Nominating Committee or myself (ndexter820@charter.net).

 

Yours Faithfully,
