Identifying candidates to serve on the vestry, the governing board of the parish, is one of the most important tasks of our parish community. Members of the vestry act as agents of the parish in all matters involving parish property and assets and assist the parish in its planning and in leadership. A candidate for the vestry should exhibit personal maturity, broad vision, strategic thinking, deep faith, and a can-do attitude.
Calvary’s nomination committee, comprised of 2020 Sr. Warden, Kim Kitterman, and the five third-year vestry members (James Aldinger, Lisa Buckner, Bailey Fountain, Nancy Manire, and Ginny Strubing), presents the following slate for election to the 2021 vestry:
Cathy Awsumb
Ben Boeving
Len Grice
Shannon Tucker
Brie Wallace
Additional nominations may be made until 24-hours before the election on Sunday, Nov.14. If you know someone you wish to nominate, please contact Sr. Warden James Aldinger (901-831-8564) no later than 10 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 13. Please be sure to obtain that person’s permission first, and then find two other parishioners with which to make the nomination.
