ANNUAL CONFERENCE BALLOT NOMINATIONS

"In just over two months the Nominating Committee of Standing Committee will be gathering Elgin, Ill., to prepare the ballot for the 2010 Annual Conference in Pittsburgh, Pa. This daunting yet important task is made easier when brothers and sisters from across the denomination assist us in calling out the gifts of persons to serve the wider denomination.

"You can help by nominating persons online by going to www.cobannualconference.org. Click on “Election Forms” then “2010 Nomination Form.” Complete the form and click “Submit Nomination.” When you do this the Annual Conference office is notified of the nomination and the nominee is emailed a link to the “2010 Nominee Information” form to complete online. We encourage you to contact persons that you are nominating beforehand to get their permission. Also, please make sure that you have a correct e-mail address for the nominee.

"Please don’t hesitate to contact the Annual Conference office if you have any questions about this process and how you can be part of it. Your participation in this process is extremely important. The deadline for nominations is December 1, 2009.

"Thank you in advance for helping us to find the most gifted servants in the church to serve in coming years."

Thank you!

Blessings,
