UNDERSTANDING THE NOMINATION PROCESS
-
As members of the Episcopal Church, we all share in its leadership and oversight, often by serving on parish and diocesan teams and committees. Our church and our witness to the world are stronger when we are led by diverse and energetic folks from across our community. To elect diverse leadership teams, we must first nominate diverse slates of candidates! Therefore, we must nominate faithful women and men from across all of our diocese, varying ages, colors, orientations, and economic circumstances and from parishes small and large, to represent us on these committees.

The positions open at this annual convention are listed in your Call to Convention paperwork.
-
Any active Episcopalian in the Episcopal Church in Western Kansas may nominate someone to serve on a diocesan-wide body. You may nominate yourself as well. Please make sure that the person you are nominating is willing to serve and is a communicant in good standing with the church.
-
Please prayerfully consider a person you know who might be ready to serve at the diocesan level. If you have questions, feel free to contact The Rev. Canon Shay Craig, nominations chairperson, at: rev.shay.craig@gmail.com or the Diocesan Office at: tec.wks2011@gmail.com

The deadline for nominating someone else—or yourself —is September 22, 2023. The Nominations Committee is asked to review all nominees to confirm they are eligible and, for positions where insufficient numbers of nominees are received, to nominate candidates for these roles.
