Service on the Nominating Committee has proven to be a very meaningful experience that has deepened the spiritual journey of those who have served.

As one of only two Committees established in our bylaws, the Nominating Committee is elected by Beacon members and officially tasked with proposing nominees for congregational approval for the Board of Trustees and the Nominating Committee itself. Assistance to other committees and teams in helping to identify leaders is also provided when requested.
The Nominating Committee is committed to focusing on:
Identifying and developing leaders with a recognition of service as a sacred responsibility, and a meaningful and enriching part of our spiritual journey at Beacon.
Working toward Beacon’s stated commitment to dismantle racism by using anti-oppressive practices, specifically transparency and accessibility, in nominating, selecting, and supporting members in leadership and service.
These priorities guide our efforts to update and expand our practices for identifying leaders, and we welcome your strengths and your voice in continuing this work!
What you will find…
A small, committed group that works closely and affirms their time together as valuable and sacred
An enjoyable opportunity to meet and build relationships with Beacon leaders as you help fill Beacon’s Board and Nominating Committee with passionate members
