Delegates are a crucial part our conference. They are a vital connecting link among the congregations that form the community we know as CDC. We encourage our congregations to choose delegates who represent each congregation’s perspective and thoughts and who will be willing to enter into conversation relating to the vision and mission of CDC.
Every member congregation of the Conference shall have the right to be represented by one vote for every thirty members or fractional part of that number, with a minimum of two delegates from each congregation.
In addition to the above delegates, every member congregation is encouraged to appoint one high school age youth delegate who is an active participant of the congregation and youth group. This will be an additional voting delegate.
Proper delegate forms shall be sent to all member congregations by the Conference secretary, and these forms shall be returned to the Conference secretary designating all delegates before or by the opening session of the annual meeting.
Any member of a constituent congregation present at Conference sessions may participate in discussion on the conference floor. Other guests present are welcome to join open discussion in the spirit of Christian love and mutual helpfulness.
