Election Process |
The president and council are elected at each general chapter of the federation. Sister Sharon McHugh (Elizabeth) presented to the delegates an alternative plan for the election process. This included an election process that would begin prior to the chapter. Delegates would be asked to submit names for the president during the year prior to the chapter. The discernment process would include asking those with sufficient nominations if they were willing to remain as candidates for the president. In this way, a slate for president would be available at the time of the chapter. This would allow greater time for candidates to discern their opitions. After careful consideration the pre-chapter voted to accept this new discernment process for the election at the general chapter. |
