Your Pathway to Conference Leadership

Nominate

Nominate yourself or someone else at link below. If you nominate someone else, the system will automatically send them a link to accept the nomination. Any professing member in a North Georgia United Methodist Church, or any licensed, provisional, or ordained clergyperson may be nominated. Nominees must have a reference from their pastor, District Superintendent, Church Lay Leader, or District Lay Leader. A request for these references is sent automatically by the software platform.

Assessment and Matching

The Nominations Committee is in conversation with chairpersons and Conference staff to assess vacancies and needs of each team. The list of 2024 openings is available here. The Nominations Committee reviews board, committee, council, and team needs and reviews the leaders in the Nominations pool to match a team’s needs with the gifts and interests of those in the Leadership pool.

Training Part One

All members of Boards and Committees are required to take an intercultural training. We are currently using the Implicit Bias training from GCORR, an excellent resource that will positively impact your work on North Georgia Committees, in your church, and in your community. The Conference Nominations Team will provide you with more information after you are nominated and you will be asked to complete the training before May 1.

Approval

The Nominations Committee publishes a full slate of Conference leaders in their Nominations Report to Annual Conference in June for final approval by Annual Conference vote.

Serve

Once the Nominations Report is approved, members begin service on July 1 and serve for a four-year period called a quadrennium. For filled vacancies during interim years, members serve until the end of the quadrennium. If it has been a good fit for both parties, members may be asked to serve a second term as determined by the Book of Discipline or Conference Standing Rules.

Training Part Two

The chair of your committee will arrange for onboarding and training specific to the work of the committee.
