Welcome to PCI's Nominations Committee Invitation and Survey for 2022-25

This invitation has been sent to you via your Minister or Clerk of Presbytery so that you may register your interest and willingness to serve in the councils and committees of the General Assembly. 

Four years ago a similar opportunity was given to communicant members, elders and ministers. The names of those who responded were put into a 'pool' from which nominations were made. The time has come to refresh that pool in order to give new people the opportunity to offer to serve, and to allow existing nominees to express their interest in serving on other councils and/or committees.

The survey on the next pages is designed to enable us to match your interests, skills and experience to particular areas of the life and work of the General Assembly. Therefore, without any further obligation, please complete it if:
  • you would like the opportunity to serve on one or more of the councils and/or committees of the General Assembly
  • you are already involved and are interested in serving on other councils and/or committees.
If your circumstances have changed and you are no longer in a position to serve, we fully understand and there is an opportunity to say so early on.

Some things to note:
  • the first nominations from this new pool will be made in June 2022, but further nominations will be made in 2023, 2024 and 2025 as vacancies arise;
  • no-one will be nominated to a particular council or committee without being asked personally whether they are willing to serve on it and being given the opportunity to find out more about it;
  • councils meet 2 or 3 times each year and committees also meet 2 or 3 times each year - membership of a committee does NOT automatically mean membership of a council; 
  • service is for four years, renewable for a maximum of another four years, but anyone can withdraw at any time - we all know our circumstances may change!
  • as these are presbytery nominations, once names are received, the local Minister and Clerk of Presbytery will be asked to give final approval.
We would appreciate it if you could complete the survey before Monday, 31 January 2022.

Thank you

Tom Greer
Convener of the Nominations Committee
