Each year Trinity’s Nominating Committee, which consists of the Senior Class of Trinity Church’s 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, Doug Scothorn, Dave Hensley, Cissie Stevens, Linda Watt, and I serve on the Nominating Committee.

 

To serve on the Vestry, the nominee must be:

• a baptized and confirmed member of the Episcopal Church

• over the age of 18 years of age

• 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 5 & 6, 2024. 

 

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. I acknowledge that you might think, “I would like to do that, but I am too _____ (fill in the blank).” I thought the same myself. However, I discovered that I had time to serve and that serving on the Vestry has been one of my life's most spiritually 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 October 22.  The Nominations Committee will begin accepting names from June 1 to August 1, 2023. To submit a name for consideration, complete this form.

 

If you have any questions, you may contact any member of the Nominating Committee or myself (lizzyandwill@gmail.com).

 

Yours Faithfully,

 

Katherine Ray

Senior Warden
