Nominating Committee

Annual Meeting Announcement

Sunday, May 4, 2025 | 11:30 a.m.

Each year the Nominating Committee is responsible to the congregation for selecting a slate of three nominees for the Board of Trustees and three nominees for the Nominating Committee, as well as nominees for any addition vacancies that that may have occurred during the church year. The Committee would like to thank everyone who participated in the selection process this year. We are pleased to announce this year’s slate of nominees for West Shore’s church election:

For the Board of Trustees 2025-2026

• Donna Evans-Deyermond, Member since 2022
• Terri Burgess Sandu, Member since 2017
• Jeff Stager, Member since 2017

For the Nominating Committee 2025-2026

• Dawn Bellinger, Member since 2022
• Mel McGuckin, Member since 2016
• Daniel Soza, Member since 2022

Bios of Nominees

We believe these people are more than capable to participate on these committees and will be an asset to our church leadership. Information on each candidate will be posted on the church bulletin board located outside Rev. Makar’s office and on the church website by March 2025.

Nomination for election to the Board of Trustees and the Nominating Committee may also be made by petition of twenty or more members.  This petition must be presented to the President of the Board of Trustees, Kelly Galligan, at least twenty days prior to the Annual Meeting or Monday, April 14, and must contain the written consent of the nominee, along with the nominee’s photo and bio summarizing their current and past involvement in church activities.  The nominee’s name, photo, and bio will be posted on the church bulletin board and website within five days of receiving the petition.

If members would like to suggest agenda items for the Annual Meeting on Sunday, May 4, please submit the proposed items to the Board of Trustees prior to the April Board meeting on Wednesday, April 23. Please reach out to Kelly Galligan at kelly.l.galligan@gmail.com or Vicky Warden at victoriawarden1019@gmail.com if you have an agenda item to propose.
