Nominations Committee

This new iteration of the Nominations Committee was formed following decisions made at the General Assembly of 2023 as part of the Church Life Review.  The approach of the committee acknowledges the breadth of skills and understanding within the URC and seeks to utilise those talents that may have previously gone undiscovered. The aim is to engender a more inclusive culture within the framework of safer recruitment. The nominations committee will delegate more responsibility to the wider church committees; whilst overseeing the broader process of appointing new candidates to each of the General Assembly committees. Our brief is to support candidates, panels and all related subcommittees to discern the call to serve. We will ensure due process is followed beginning with role descriptions, advertising vacant positions, through to the appointment of each new volunteer committee member.
