The Nomination and Recommendation form (Form #1) is used for both nominating a candidate and for providing a recommendation for someone who has been nominated. The form is to be completed and returned by the individual making the nomination/recommendation. For nominations, please secure agreement of the candidate before proposing one’s name for this process.

The Candidate Profile form (Form #2), and the Qualifications and Commitments document, should be shared with the Candidate. Candidate Profile forms received after September 13, 2024 cannot be considered.

Once the Candidate Profile Form, completed by the candidate, is received at the Robert A. Roblee Ministry Building in King of Prussia, staff will secure the necessary region, church and caucus recommendations. Since this takes some time, the earlier a Candidate Profile form is received the better. Candidate Profile forms received after September 13, 2024 cannot be considered.

We will appreciate your prayers and intentional efforts to invite individuals from your networks that are willing to share their gifts and skilled with American Baptist Churches USA.

Thank you for your support of the ABCUSA Nominating Committee.
