Executive Board

Presbytery Executive Board (previously known as Coordinating Council) is composed of the Moderator, Vice Moderator, Past Moderator, four clergy members-at-large and four elder members-at-large. Presbytery staff have voice but not vote.

The executive board encourages the work of committees and ministry teams, recommends program priorities to the presbytery, considers and makes recommendations on bills and overtures presented to the presbytery, nominates persons to serve on the presbytery nominating committee and formulates the proposed docket for stated meetings of the presbytery.
