Committee on Nominations report
October 07, 2014

The Committee on Nominations is charged with the task of receiving and reviewing the numerous recommendations provided by North Carolina Baptists for service on the Board of Directors and committees of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina as well as the boards of the institutions and agencies of the Convention.

The Committee begins its work with the recommendations sent by North Carolina Baptists and only when exhausted, or in the event that too few recommendations have been received for a specific place of service, the committee seeks to find candidates who meet the qualifications for service as outlined in the Convention bylaws.

The full report from the Committee on Nominations can be found on the Convention’s Annual Meeting website, in the edition of the Biblical Recorder dated October 11, 2014, on the Biblical Recorder website, and in the Book of Reports provided to each messenger who completes their registration at the Annual Meeting.

On behalf of the Committee members listed below, I want to thank each North Carolina Baptist who completed and submitted a recommendation. It is not too early to begin thinking about those individuals whom you wish to recommend for consideration by the 2015 Committee on Nominations. Please continue to submit your recommendations, as your input is essential to the Committee’s work and the ongoing effectiveness of the missions and ministries of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina.

Committee on Nominations Report

Committee on Nominations Report
BSC Communications
September 30, 2011

The Committee on Nominations is charged with the task of

receiving and reviewing the numerous recommendations provided by North Carolina

Baptists for service on the (Baptist State Convention of North Carolina – BSC)

Board of Directors and committees of the Convention as well as the boards of

the institutions and agencies of the Convention. The committee begins its work

with the recommendations sent by North Carolina Baptists and only when

exhausted, or in the event too few recommendations have been received for a

specific place of service, the committee seeks to find candidates who meet the

qualifications for service as outlined in the Convention bylaws.

In 2011 there were situations in which the number of

recommendations for a place of service outnumbered the vacancies; and there

were situations in which the converse was also true. However, the committee has

worked diligently in both cases to review and recommend individuals who we

believe will best serve North Carolina Baptists.

The full report from the Committee on Nominations can be

found on the BSC’s annual meeting website, in the edition of the Biblical

Recorder dated Oct. 1, 2011, on the Biblical Recorder website, and in the book

of reports provided to each messenger who completes their registration at the

annual meeting.

On behalf of the committee members listed below, I want to

thank each North Carolina Baptist who completed and submitted a recommendation.

It is not too early to begin thinking about those individuals whom you wish to

recommend for consideration by the 2012 Committee on Nominations. Please

continue to submit your recommendations, as your input is essential to the

committee’s work and the ongoing effectiveness of the missions and ministries

of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina.
