Report of the
Committee on Nominations
A Note from the Secretary for the Committee on Nominations
One will notice that some nominees have biographical information in this report and others do not. There are several reasons for this. A place was provided on the nominations response form for people to write something about themselves. The accompanying note stated: “If you accept the nominations, what background and/or experience information might be helpful for those considering you for this election and would commend you for service in this position.”
Some took advantage for the opportunity and others did not.The ones that do not have information on this sheet either did not choose to send any or were contacted by phone late in the hunt for nominees and had no response form to send in. Also, information for people who were running unopposed was not listed. If you or someone in your church is missing biographical information and would like it made known please send it to me at raybertolet@verizon.net and I will see that it is circulated at annual conference.
Respectfully Submitted,
Raymond R. Bertolet
