Nominating Committee
Connie Ford to serve a second three-year term as one of two Council designees to the Nominating Committee.

Creekside Commons LLC board nominations continued to be deferred as Mayflower and Creekside leadership explore the best cooperative oversight entity for our thriving partnership.

Nominating committee members deeply appreciate the many fruitful conversations they had with potential leaders both for this year’s nomination process and for coming years. We particularly celebrate the way that so many people were willing to take the leap back into church leadership involvement after separations and lassitude caused by the pandemic.

Nominating Committee: Connie Ford (chair), Ellen Baker, Ryan Pulkrabek, Steve Rawlins, Karen Smith Sellers
