THE 2023 UCM COUNCIL & NOMINATIONS COMMITTEE CANDIDATES
The primary role of the Nominations Committee is to make recommendations to Council and the church, new members to replace the outgoing Council members, as well as outgoing Nomination Committee members.
In 2022, the Nominations Committee’s appeal for nominations were sent out and communicated through a video which was put together by all the Nominations Committee members. The video was shared to the congregation during the in-person services, and also published on the UCM Fellowship Facebook Group, on YouTube, as well as here on the UCM website. This was done with the purpose of soliciting from the congregation, individuals within our church community that would serve well in the UCM leadership.
We are grateful for God’s provision and your help, because despite the challenges of making connections post pandemic, we were able to reach out to around 20 individuals.
The Nominations Committee is pleased to inform you that at the Annual Members' Meeting on February 26, 2023, voting will be held to approve the slate of nominees that the UCM Council and we, at the Nominations Committee, are presenting to the church body.
Those who have agreed to be nominated and considered have been pre-qualified to match their church service experience, work background, spiritual growth, and maturity with the vacant positions. They have undergone the nominations process and have been prayerfully considered.
The candidates have been narrowed down to fill up 5 seats for Council and 2 seats for Nominations Committee.
Each year, the Nominations Committee is tasked with the responsibility of recommending to Council new members who will replace the outgoing Council members. If the names that are recommended to Council are approved, they are then presented at the Annual Members’ Meeting for approval by the congregation. Further, the committee is tasked with the responsibility of presenting two names to the congregation who will fill the two seats that are being vacated on the Nominations Committee each year.
All those from within the UCM congregation are encouraged to provide the committee with names from within the congregation who they feel would serve well as leaders of the church. The submitted names for potential church leadership will be presented to the congregation. At the Annual Members’ Meeting, voting is held to approve the slate of nominees as presented to the church body by the Council and the Nominations Committee. This vote includes all the new Council members and the two individuals being recommended for the Nominations Committee each year.
