2009 Nominating Committee Recommendation Form
2009 Committee on Committees Form
SPRINGFIELD | Summer has just begun, but fall is around the corner as is the Illinois Baptist State Association Annual Meeting November 11-12. Therefore, the state Association’s Nominating Committee and the Committee on Committees are looking for nominations of Illinois Baptists to serve as members of the three boards and seven standing committees. Both committees will meet on August 28 in Springfield to consider names of those willing to serve and who meet the constitutional requirements.
The Nominating Committee, chaired by John Mattingly, Sinnissippi Association director of missions and a member of Emmanuel Baptist Church, Sterling, nominates pastors and laypersons from IBSA member churches to serve as members of the association’s three governing boards. The IBSA board of directors has 33 members, while the Baptist Foundation of Illinois (BFI) and Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services (BCHFS) boards of trustees have 21 members each. Members of all boards serve three-year terms. In 2010, IBSA’s board of directors will need 11 new members, BFI will need nine new trustees and the BCHFS will need eight new trustees.
The IBSA Board of Directors meets twice a year in Springfield with committees meeting another two times a year. Nominees need to come from various regions of the state as specified in the IBSA Constitution.
The BFI board meets twice a year in Springfield and BCHFS trustees meet four times a year in either Mt.Vernon or Carmi.
The Committee on Committees, chaired by Ron Rhodus, a member of Carlinville Southern Baptist Church, nominates persons for membership on the state association’s six standing committees. This year, the Committee on Committees will need 26 new members to serve on next year’s Order of Business (4), Nominating (4), Credentials (5), Constitution (4), Resolutions (4) and Historical Committees (5).
Each of the association’s committees consists of 12 members, serving a three-year term. The Credentials, Order of Business and Resolutions Committees meet at least twice during the year in Springfield. The Constitution, Historical, and Nominating Committees normally meet once a year in Springfield.
If you would like to nominate an individual for any of the boards or an Association committee, complete the appropriate recommendation form available above or call (217) 391-3107. Completed forms should be returned to IBSA by Aug 7.
