Vestry Nomination Form

Five new members of the vestry are elected each year at the annual meeting, scheduled for January 20, 2008, to replace the five members who rotate off the vestry after serving their three-year terms. It is now time to begin soliciting names for those five positions. The deadline for submitting names is November 19.

Our diocesan canons require that a vestry member be a confirmed communicant in good standing. Members of the church staff and their immediate family are not eligible to serve on the vestry. In addition, please consider the following general guidelines in selecting nominees for the vestry:

  • A nominee should be regular in attendance.
  • A nominee should be faithful in praying for Trinity.
  • It is desirable that a nominee has been a member of the Episcopal Church for at least three years.
  • A nominee should take his/her financial commitment to Trinity seriously by making a meaningful pledge to Trinity and should have done so for the past several years.

If you are interested in becoming a member of the vestry please complete the form below. If you are nominating someone else, please contact that person first to determine his/her willingness to serve, then fill out the form below. Your nomination will be sent electronically to the Senior and Junior Wardens and to Fr. Fred. All names submitted to the Nominating Committee will be kept confidential. After the nomination period has ended, the Nominating Committee will select from the list of submitted nominations no more than 10 qualified individuals to run for the vestry. The committee will publish the list of nominees in early December.

The committee consists of the outgoing members of the vestry: Jefferson George, Sandy Liser, Al Mathe, Karen Parrish, and the two wardens: Elinor Normand and Steve Peglar. Fr. Fred serves as an ex officio member of the committee. Contact any of these individuals if you have questions concerning the nomination process. There is more information about the vestry on the Vestry Page.
