Call for Vestry Nominations

Our Parish bylaws provide a nominating process for the upcoming vacancies on the vestry as well as Delegates to the Diocesan Convention. Nominations must be submitted and qualified by December 15. The election will be held at the Annual Parish Meeting in February.

Qualifications for Vestry members: A Vestry nominee must be a communicant of St. John’s Parish in good standing for a period of at least 12 months prior to election. The nominee must be actively involved in the ministry of the Parish; must actively support the Parish by pledge or subscription; must be willing to accept active leadership, including responsibility for decision making that represents the entire Parish; and must be willing to invest the time necessary in the ministry of leadership, including attendance at worship, Vestry meetings and other scheduled Vestry activities, special events, and satellite activities. In addition to the qualifications contained in the bylaws, the Vestry believes that nominees for service for the next three-year term should possess special skills, gifts and talents in visionary and strategic thinking, be courageous, and have skills in fiscal planning and policy.

Diocesan Convention Delegates: The Delegates will have two-year terms. The Alternate Delegates have a term of one year if their service is required.

Please give the future leadership of the Cathedral prayerful consideration and contact John Sefton with the name of your nominee. It is critically important that you obtain the permission of your nominee before submitting his or her name to a Nominating Committee member.
