The Convention will fulfill
an important function, that of electing its representatives
to the several bodies that will further the work of the
Diocese during the coming year. Such elections shall be
held only after all who participate are as fully informed
as possible: the nominee knowing the duties and responsibilities
of the office; and the Convention knowing the background
and the willingness of each of the nominees to serve.
Nominations for the offices shall be made in writing, the
consent of the nominee having been secured, and shall
be signed by a nominator and a second in writing, each
of whom shall be a delegate or alternate to the Convention.
The signatures of both nominator and second should be
affixed to a single nomination form; "split" nomination
forms cannot be accepted. A PHOTO OF EACH NOMINEE
is required.
If nominating an individual for two different
offices, a separate form should be submitted for each
office for which the person is being nominated.
It is required that each nomination be filed with the
Secretary of the Convention no later than midnight, Wednesday,
October 15, 2008. Nomination forms with list of offices
of election will be sent to all delegates on file in early
September and will be posted on the website as soon as
it becomes available.
Nominations can be filed via mail at 36 Cathedral Avenue,
PO Box 510, Garden City, NY 11530 or via facsimile at
516-248-1616.
