Purpose of the Convention
The purpose of the annual convention of the Southeastern Synod Women of the ELCA is to conduct the business of the organization, elect officers and board members (and four triennial voting members each triennium), and approve the budget and Love Offering for the coming year. It is the highest legislative authority of the synodical organization.
Each congregational unit is encouraged to elect a voting member (and an alternate) to represent their unit at the convention. Voting members of the convention are the elected officers and board of the synodical organization and the voting members from each unit. A majority of the voting members that are registered at the convention will constitute a quorum.
The convention also provides our women an opportunity for fellowship and fun as well as spiritual growth through Bible Study, workshops, and worship services. Special guests include the bishop of the Southeastern Synod, churchwide representative, chaplain, music director, keynote speaker, workshop leaders, and others.
