2020 Election

AED Board Election: October 2020

The Association for Episcopal Deacons elects new board members every two years, by ballot of AED members.

This year we have 5 or 6 positions to fill. We invite passionate, enthusiastic individuals who desire to offer their gifts and leadership skills for Engaging the Diakonia of All Believers as a missional church in the 21st century to work with us.

Specific skillsets needed are: development, public policy/legislative advocacy (inside and/or outside the church institution), community organizing and experience with non-profits. We are also committed to increasing the geographic, ethnic, age, and gender diversity of our Board.

AED Board Open Positions:

Vice President / President Elect: electing 1 (must be a deacon)
Layperson: electing 1
Presbyter: electing 1
Deacons: electing 2 or 3 (depends on whether a current board member successfully runs for VP/President-elect)

Terms for those elected will begin at the Spring Board meeting, tentatively scheduled for either March 7-9 or March 14-16, 2021. Additional meetings will be held remotely, via Zoom.
