by   Staff                                                                                                                                                 Vol. XXII, No. 6, June/July 2009

Seventy Southern Baptists from 35 state Baptist conventions have been named to serve on the 2009-10 SBC Committee on Nominations. The Committee on Nominations nominates people to serve on the SBC's boards, commissions, and committees. They will present their report to the 2010 SBC annual meeting in Orlando, FL.

The committee is made up of two people from each state convention, with at least one layperson. An asterisk denotes the committee member is a layperson. All others are church vocational workers. [BP]

[Comment: The selection of nominees is crucially important to the Southern Baptist Convention. Those folks elected at each June meeting make policy, choose the leaders of our seminaries, IMB, NAMB, etc. With that I mind, ask yourself what you can do to help. If you know someone who would serve effectively, who has good judgment, integrity, and backbone, let one or both of your state members of the Committee on Nominations know.

   You can download the SBC Trustee Recommendation and Information Form from the SBC website. Don’t wait too long. The committee members have a lot of work to do.

   For Virginia the two committee members are: Marshal Ausberry Sr., Antioch Baptist, Fairfax Station; *Robert Farris Williams, First Baptist, Norfolk. For readers in other states, you can go to the Baptist Press website and read the article with the same title as this one. That article lists all members from all states. TCP]
