The Committee on Nominations report follows the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina's (BSC) bylaws directive to "nominate persons to serve on the boards of trustees and directors of all agencies and institutions of the Convention, the Board of Directors, the twelve (12) members-at-large of the Council on Christian Life and Public Affairs of the Convention and such other nominations as may be delegated to the Committee by the Convention."

Among other considerations for nominees, the bylaws state "it is desirable that the Committee shall nominate at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the members to the various boards and councils from churches with resident membership under four hundred (400)."  This is indicated in the Committee's report by (O) for over 400 and (U) for under 400 in church resident membership.

The bylaws further direct that, "The report shall include at a minimum the name, church, home town, association, occupation, and sex of each nominee, the name of the institution or agency on whose board the nominee is to serve, together with such summary information as will make clear to the Convention the diversity and breadth of representation provided by the slates of nominees."

(EDITOR'S NOTE — This report will be presented for approval during the annual Baptist State Convention meeting Nov. 10-12, for terms beginning in 2009.)
