Kay KotanThe nominations committee is responsible for setting up expectations for potential leaders before offering a nomination. It is way more effective to set high expectations than low expectations just to get someone to say yes.
Kay KotanWe must shift from our focus on secular experience and skill expectations to having spiritually mature leaders in key leadership roles.
Kay KotanIn the past, the work of nominations was most focused on lifting up names and convincing people to say yes to serving. Refocusing instead on leadership development, aligning giftedness, and discipleship maturity helps begin the needed shift.
Kay KotanHowever you reference this season of nominations, please allow me to offer a few thoughts for your consideration. The process of nominations and the role of the Nominations Committee can be a critical and pivotal season in the life of your church.
