Delegates to Annual Meeting

The following procedures come from the RMC by-laws regarding voting/delegates...

4.1   Every local church with standing in an association of the Conference shall be entitled to voting representatives in the Conference by two lay delegates, plus one additional lay delegate for each 200 members, or major fraction thereof above 200 members, provided that no church may thus be represented by more than seven lay delegates. The last annual Year Book statistics will be the basis for computing the number of delegates. Delegates shall be elected or appointed by each church and, unless otherwise ordered by the church, shall serve for a term of one year or until their successors have been elected, except that a delegate's term of office shall terminate upon removal from membership in the local church. Each church may appoint or elect alternates which shall be designated by the church as voting delegates in the event any one or more of regular delegates cannot be in attendance at the annual or special meetings. The recommendation is that no delegate be self-succeeding for more than three successive years and that, so far as possible, delegates should be representative of the church and reflective of the diversity of people within the congregation.

4.2   All persons holding ordained ministerial standing in an association of the Conference, and commissioned ministers, and licensed ministers who have been authorized for ministry by an association of the Conference shall be voting members at the annual or special meetings of the Conference.

4.3   The members of the Board of Directors shall be voting members of the Conference during their terms of office.
