Committee on Participation and Representation
(Must be an ordained ruling/teaching elder)

Term of Service: Three-year term (elected), eligible for re-election for a total of two terms/six consecutive years 

Meetings: 3-4 times per year. Tend to meet Thursday mornings. 

There is one “Big Meeting” that is absolutely mandatory, usually in late August. At the Big Meeting names are nominated for every council, committee and team in the Presbytery structure for the slates for the coming year.  

There is an important follow-up meeting 4 weeks later.  

Other meetings are scheduled throughout the year as vacancies arise that need to be filled. 

The Big Meeting is typically held in person. Other meetings are typically held via Zoom.

Committee members are expected to:

• Bring ideas of names to contribute for nominations 

• Work to solicit names of potential volunteers from the churches 

• Be responsible for calling potential nominees as assigned, explaining what is being asked of them, and reporting responses.
