CLERKS CORNER


The PCUSA has developed an easy way to obtain an IRS 501(c)(3) inclusion letter under the group ruling. To obtain a letter, go to www.pcusagroupruling.org, enter your EIN, and you should be able to generate a letter with the necessary attachments.

COMMISSION ON REPRESENTATION AND NOMINATIONS


CoRN nominates members of the Presbytery for election by the Presbytery to its committees, commissions, agencies, and boards. All members of the Presbytery (teaching elders and ruling elders) are eligible to serve.


The CoRN advocates for and promotes full representation of the rich diversity of the Presbytery in leadership by identifying and resourcing potential leaders; reviews and reports on Presbytery performance on representation and inclusive practices; identifies, invites, and nominates candidates for leadership in the wider church.


Serving on a commission or board involves meeting a few times per year for the length of your term, as well as work that may be assigned for follow-up between meetings. Most groups meet primarily via videoconference. A term of service is three years long, beginning on July 1, and may be renewed once for a total of six years of service. Synod Commission terms are four years long, beginning on July 1, and may not be renewed.
