Confidentiality Covenant

As members of the Nominating Committee, which is a congregational committee, we are entrusted with the confidence of others. The ethical principles of confidentiality require that information shared in this committee meeting about individuals will not be shared with anyone outside of the five committee members.

The minutes of the Nominating Committee will inform the board and congregation of our process. Within the process of vetting the committee, we can collectively decide to get more information from congregants and staff.
