Nominating & Recruitment Committee

The Nominating and Recruitment Committee is the church entity charged in the bylaws as responsible for identifying and recruiting candidates to stand for election for open positions on the Parish Board and the Finance Committee at the annual meeting. We regard this responsibility as our highest priority.

Beyond this primary responsibility, and as time and resources permit, we have attempted, in recent years, to support all committees in the church by building a general awareness, via educational activities, of the many volunteer opportunities in the church, with the hope that this would facilitate each committee’s efforts to recruit new members as needed. In the 2009-2010 church year, we have been testing a new model with each member of the Nominating and Recruitment Committee acting as a liaison to the one of following committees: Adult Programs, Children’s Religious Education, Membership Committee, Social Action, and Worship.

We are also currently undertaking a general review of our historical practices, with the hope that we can find a way to serve the needs of all church committees for new members and chairs, by actively recruiting good candidates in response to requests for assistance from committees.

Members:

Sarah Cliffe, Chair; Bruce Logan, Vice Chair; Jody Judge; Karl Klasson; Brad Power; Anne Stuart
