The deadline for nominations for Diocesan Council and Standing Committee is this Wednesday, October 7.

• For the Diocesan Council, we are electing two clergy persons (priests or deacons) and four lay persons for two-year terms. In addition, one clergy person will be elected to fill an unexpired one-year term.
• For the Standing Committee, we are electing two clergy persons (who must be priests) and two lay persons to two-year terms.

Information about each of these bodies can be found here.

The forms for nominations can be found here. You may (and are encouraged) to nominate yourself. If you wish to nominate someone else, please ensure that you have their permission to place their name in nomination.

If your current term on one of these bodies is expiring, please note that the two most recent Annual Conventions changed the maximum number of consecutive terms that can be served to three. You must complete a nomination form if you wish to run for another term.

Thank you in advance to all those who put their name forward for one of these positions.

Curtis Hamilton is the Diocesan Secretary and a member of Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral.
