2010 Nominees Requested
ANTIOCH, TN—The 2009-2010 Nominating Committee, which will serve through the national convention in Oklahoma City, OK, is prepared to receive nominees for the 2010 convention election, according to Mark McCraney, committee chairman.
The committee will meet December 7, 2009, at the annual Leadership Conference to consider nominations and compile a report listing one nomination for each position to be filled. The report will be presented to the General Board and delegates at the 2010 convention in Oklahoma City. This nominating process has changed, following a decision by delegates to the 2009 national convention in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Executive Secretary Keith Burden explains the multi-year process:
“During the 2007 convention in Little Rock, Arkansas, the Executive Committee requested authorization to review the nominating process used during the annual convention and bring back recommendations the following year. Permission was granted.
“Recommendations to clarify the process were submitted in writing to the 2008 convention in Charleston, West Virginia. Since the proposed changes necessitated amending the By-Laws, the matter was tabled until the 2009 convention in Cincinnati, Ohio.
“Delegates in Cincinnati approved the proposed changes to the nominating process and those changes go into effect at the 2010 convention in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.” [Read more in One to One, page 54.]
The following board and commission positions will be filled in 2010: Free Will Baptist Bible College (3), International Missions (3), Randall House (3), Commission for Theological Integrity (1), Historical Commission (1), Media Commission (1), Music Commission (1), General Board (11), Executive Committee (3) and General Officers (4).
