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.  If so, their deacon position will be open.​)
Terms for those elected will begin at the in-person Spring Board meeting, scheduled for either March 7-9, 2021 or March 14-16, 2021 at a location to be determined. Additional meetings will be held remotely, via Zoom.
