COMMITTEE ON NOMINATIONS

DETROIT ANNUAL CONFERENCE

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON NOMINATIONS, 2016

The following report represents the ongoing work of the Committee on Nominations.

Our two-fold purpose is to find the most capable persons to serve on the committees

and agencies of the Detroit Annual Conference. In connection with this, it is also our

hope to provide meaningful opportunities for persons to contribute their talents and skills

to our shared ministries.

The greatest challenge the Committee on Nominations faces is knowing who has an

interest in serving and what skills and talents they offer to our ministries. At the end of

this report you will find a form for making a nomination. Please feel free to fill out a form

for yourself, if you are interested. Please talk to those you know and fill out a form nam-

ing them. We hope to have a pool of people to call on as needs arise.

The Committee works throughout the year, filling vacancies as we can. On the report,

vacancies are indicated by underlines. If vacancies exist, they also appear under the

committee name.

The Conference website is being redesigned over the summer and early fall. While that

is happening, completed nomination forms can be sent to me at [email protected].

We look forward to a newly designed website that will make it easier to explore how

you might offer your skills and talents to Conference ministries.

Speaking for the members of the Committee on Nominations, it is our privilege to do

this work on your behalf. We covet your prayers, as well as your nominations.
