Committee on Representation/Nominations (COR/N)
The Committee on Representation/Nominations provides information essential to maintaining Constitutional
principles of inclusiveness and representation on all Presbytery committees, commissions, and teams. Based on
this information, it nominates members of all standing committees and officers of the Presbytery, as
appropriate.
COR/N is composed of a member of the Council and 6 at-large members nominated by the Council and elected by the
Presbytery, for 3-year terms in three equal classes.
In accordance with the principles of unity and diversity in F-1.0403 and G-3.0103, the Committee on
Representation shall:
- Develop procedures and mechanisms for promoting and reviewing the Presbytery's implementation of the
church's commitment to inclusiveness and representation.
- Advise the presbytery regarding the implementation of principles of unity and diversity.
- Advocate for diversity in leadership.
- Consult with the Council on the employment of personnel.
- Maintain ongoing records pertaining to individuals serving in the structure of the Presbytery, pertinent to
Constitutional mandates.
- Be trained at the Presbytery's expense and empowered to facilitate diversity and inclusion training amongst
all our leadership so that together we may find our center in the work of justice, living into our
representational system.
Fulfill the function of the Nominating Committee for the presbytery by:
- Working creatively to identify those whose gifts and passion could be invited in service to presbytery
commissions and teams.
- Accepting responsibility for contacting potential nominees, exploring the potential for their service and
reporting responses back to the Committee on Representation chair.
- Nominating persons to fill all vacancies in elected positions, including commissioners to higher councils as
well as positions identified as such in the team descriptions of the Manual of Administrative Operations.
- Diligently considering candidates with temperaments and skills that match their willingness to serve.
