Annual Meeting Update
The Trinity Episcopal Church Annual Meeting will be held on February 7, 2021 at 11.00 am PST. The meeting will occur virtually using the Zoom internet video conferencing program. In order to conduct the voting for Vestry and Diocesan Convention seats, voting will be done through a separate email program, so those who wish to vote in the election MUST REGISTER by sending an email to office@trinitysuttercreek.org.
Outline of the annual meeting process:
- The Zoom annual meeting will be a meeting separate from our church service and held after the service.
- We will need to adopt some special rules of order for the Zoom meeting format so we can meet state and church legal requirements. These rules of order will be published electronically before the meeting.
- Annual Reports will be published electronically before the meeting, with some printed copies available for distribution.
- The business of the annual meeting will be to elect members of Vestry, and delegates and alternates for the Diocesan Convention.
Election
For the Vestry, we need to elect three people for a three-year term (the Class of 2023). Additionally, we need to fill a two-year term vacancy. If we do not elect four people to serve on the Vestry, the Vestry has the responsibility to name people to fill those terms.
For the Diocesan Convention, we will be electing three Delegates and three Alternates to represent Trinity at the Convention. The convention is currently scheduled for November 5-6 in Redding CA, with provisions for holding it virtually depending on the health conditions of the country. Ideally, we will have at least six names in nomination for these positions.
Noreen Lafferty, noreenlafferty47@gmail.com, will be acting as Nominations Secretary, accepting names offered in nomination for open positions. We will publish nominations in the January 29 issue of Trinity Tidings.
