Elder Board Nominations 2025
What a time of year this is! I can now hear the birds at about 4:00am and can see green grass on my afternoon dog walks. There is NEW all around me and it serves as a visible reminder that things are always changing and growing. That makes it the perfect season to think about new members to grow our elder board for the year(s) ahead.
As Barb Hays shared a couple of weeks ago, it is the time of year that we, as a body, have the opportunity to participate in nominating new elders, along with new members for the nominating committee. The nominations for both come from you, our congregation.
Below you will find:
Details on the nominating process, including the type of experience and background we are hoping to add in this season
A nomination form (that includes a list of all current members eligible to be nominated). Just complete the form and hit submit. It's that easy!
Hopefully you've had time to give some prayerful consideration to which LSC members have gifts that will fit the board in this season. As a reminder, some of the key experience we are seeking is in the areas of marketing, organizational change, finance/non-profit management, and building design or remodeling. Our desire is to cast a wide net in order to build a board that represents a multiethnic, multigenerational, multi denominational body.
In order for us to support this year's nominating committee and give them time to do their work effectively, we need you to submit your nominations by Sunday, April 6. Yes, that is this Sunday! If the electronic option doesn't work for you, we'll have paper copies of the nomination form available in the sanctuary on Sunday.
Thank you in advance for supporting this important process in the life of LaSalle Street Church.
