The Episcopal Diocese of Ohio

In 2008, the Nominating Committee made significant progress in making parishes and individuals aware of opportunities for diocesan service and identifying new leaders from across the diocese. During 2009, we sought to continue that progress by updating job descriptions and continuing to recruit new leaders. We are particularly grateful for the assistance of diocesan staff members Eva Cole, Kristin Crites, and Martha Wright, who made our work possible.

As this year’s slate of nominees demonstrates, we identified extraordinarily gifted leaders to stand for many positions. We are grateful to all who heard God’s call through the nomination process and agreed to stand for election.
