Nominating Commitee
NOMINATING 2pc-nominating@secondpresabq.org
The 2021 Committee Chair is Anita Romero Torres.
Decision makers bear major responsibility within our church, and help to formulate and grow policies and directions of the church. Therefore how these leaders are chosen is crucially important. The Committee prepares itself through bible study, understanding the distinctive features of Presbyterianism, exploring the problems, possibilities and priorities of the congregation, and considering the general qualifications of a church officer. The Committee ‘s work centers on mailings, invitations, phone calls, and private conversations. Each member of the Committee works diligently on studying the churches membership rolls and being sensitive to the needs of the potential candidates. The church is thankful to this special committee as its work provides the springboard for the future of the church.
The Nominating Committee works diligently every year to help fill leadership positions for the Session and the Deacons. The duties of the Nominating Committee are to nominate active members of the congregation for elders and deacons; and to nominate active members of the congregation to the Session for standing committees of the Session. They also develop and maintain an up to date list of eligible and capable persons to serve as candidates for elders and deacons and members of the standing committees of Session.

The Nominating Committee is not a committee of the Session, but a committee of the Congregation. It is elected annually at a meeting of the Congregation and operates actively throughout the program year. The Committee consists of seven active members to be chosen as per the Book of Order. The process ensures that nominations be broadly representative of the constituency of the congregation. If you have any further questions about this Committee please contact the church
