By Eric Nelson – Denver, Colorado … The pandemic has changed many things in our lives from normal to new normal, or at least an adaptation of normal that accommodates our unusual circumstances.
RMC Bylaws direct Conference administration to conduct Town Hall Meetings once a year in each of the six regions of the conference. These meetings facilitate hearing from our members and allow leadership to share information and reports regarding the status of the conference Due to the restrictions in the three states in our territory, it is not possible or advisable to hold area meetings of this size.
As a result, the Executive Committee has authorized RMC administration to receive input from the membership in the form of questions. These questions can be sent to the special email address established for this purpose – [email protected]. Please include your name and the name of the church where you are a member of. The deadline is September 1, 2020.
RMC leaders plan to record a presentation that will be placed on the Conference website that will share reports from administration. A portion of the Town Hall video will be spent in answering questions emailed to administration. This presentation may be viewed personally or as a group at your local church on or after October 9.
While this plan is not as enjoyable as sharing face to face, it will fulfill the intent and requirement of the Bylaws and is an alternative that we need to use during these challenging times.
–Eric Nelson is RMC VP for administration
