The first webinar titled <strong>\u201cLeadership in the Church of the Brethren\u201d <\/strong>will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 24, at 8 p.m. (Eastern time) via Zoom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To attend, email <a href=\"mailto:womaenscaucuscob@gmail.com\">womaenscaucuscob@gmail.com<\/a>. In addition to the Zoom link you will receive a short document to read in preparation for this workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Questions to be addressed include:<\/strong> How do people get on Program and Arrangements Committee anyway? And Standing Committee&#8211;how is that different from Mission and Ministry Board? Do Brethren Benefit Trust and On Earth Peace pick their own board members or do we? How do I nominate people? Who can I nominate? What do I do if I get nominated? How do we deal with getting nominated every year but never making it on the ballot? Or getting on the ballot but then the delegates vote for someone else&#8211;publicly and painfully?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bring all your other good questions, too, and Nominating Committee and Annual Conference officers will be with us as we get equipped to lead the church: today and tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8212; Chris Douglas is director of the Annual Conference office.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011\u2011<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find more Church of the Brethren news:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/cds-volunteers-support-kerrville\/\">CDS volunteers support \u2018Faith and Fellowship\u2019 memorial event in Kerrville<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/pastors-ordained-in-south-sudan\/\">Pastors ordained for Church of the Brethren ministry in South Sudan<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/speakers-for-nyc-2026\/\">The speakers for National Youth Conference 2026<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/brethren-and-the-declaration\/\">Brethren and the Declaration of Independence: Denise Kettering-Lane presents an equipping session<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/god-of-grace-and-god-of-glory\/\">\u2018God of grace and God of glory\u2019: A call to worship<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Annual Conference office is co-sponsoring two online workshops offered by Womaen\u2019s Caucus on the theme \u201cEquipping for Leadership.\u201d All are invited to join!
