​At the Annual Meeting (Sunday, January 31, 2016), we will elect four delegates (and alternates) to attend the Episcopal Diocese of Hawaii's Annual Convention October 21 - 22, 2016. Candidates and/or a person nominating a candidate are required to complete and submit a Nomination Form.

The Diocesan Convention is the primary representative governing body of the diocese. It convenes annually in October to conduct diocesan business, including election of various leadership bodies; approval of a budget for the upcoming year; setting mission strategy; and establishing diocesan policy and procedure by considering and voting on resolutions and approving changes to the diocesan constitution and canons. It is also an occasion for communication and teaching from the Bishop. The Convention allows delegates to connect with other Church leaders, share ministry ideas, and to gather for a celebration of the Holy Eucharist together as a diocesan community.
