The Nominating Committee is requesting that voting members and staff submit recommendations for voting members who are interested in serving on the Congregation Council for a three-year term beginning January 1, 2026.

Recommendations will be considered by the Nominating Committee as the Committee develops the list of nominees for election at our Part 1 Annual Meeting to be held November 16, 2025. New this year – The number of nominees will exceed, by at least two, the number of open positions. This year we anticipate election of three people from a slate of at least five candidates.

You may recommend yourself and/or other voting members to the Nominating Committee for consideration. For each recommendation, please include a brief statement of why you think the person would make a good candidate for Council. When recommending others, please contact the member first to determine their interest.

Please note that Council members must be voting members of the congregation. Per our Constitution C8.02.c:

Voting Members are confirmed members. Such confirmed members, during the current or preceding calendar year, shall have communed in this congregation and shall have made a contribution of record to this congregation.

Recommendations should be sent to Terri Koehler, Chair of the Nominating Committee, at Theresa.m.koehler@uth.tmc.edu. The deadline for receipt is Friday, September 5, 2025.

In Christ,

Nominating Committee

Terri Koehler (Chair), Carolyn Jacobs, Maureen Lamson, Jessica Locheed, Linda Marx, Lee Thweatt
