We will hold our Annual Parish Meeting on May 5, 2024, at 6:30pm. At that meeting, we will elect four new members to the Vestry.
In that regard, we need your help. The election will be from a slate of candidates, and every member of the congregation has the right to suggest nominees to the Nominating Committee during the Nomination Phase. Please begin praying now, asking God to show you the name of anyone you think might be appropriate to serve in this ministry. Nominations may be made from January 21 until February 5, 2024.
Please make nominations by email to Ellen Culpepper or you may submit to her in writing at the parish office.
Questions about this process? Check out the resources below.
Who may nominate someone?
Any member of St. Peter’s may make a nomination.
How do we know who to nominate?
Read through the Vestry Candidate Criteria and Expectations document linked below; anyone you believe meets at least the criteria listed here can be nominated.
Do we need to ask a person before nominating them?
Yes. The person nominating must have obtained the nominee’s written consent to his or her name being nominated.
What happens to the nominations once made?
After confirming that each nominee meets the canonical requirements to be a vestry member, the Dean sends the full list of eligible nominees to the Nominating Committee.
That committee then prayerfully discerns who God might be calling to serve as a vestry member.
The Nominating Committee then submits the final slate of candidates to the vestry for approval.
The Nominating Committee shall publish the slate of nominees, with a brief biographical sketch of each nominee, to the members of the Parish at least six weeks prior to the Annual Parish meeting. (No later than March 24, 2024)
