Our check-in crew will open the zoom meeting at 7:30am.

  • Each attendee received the zoom link when they registered for the event, check your email - if you do not have that link, email Susan@lutheransnw.org ASAP

  • Once our check in crew admits you to the meeting, they have checked you in, and your name is properly displayed, you are welcome to turn your camera off and mute yourself - go enjoy a cup of coffee or your breakfast until the meeting officially begins at 9am. (Thank you for your assistance and patience as our check-in crew must credential each of our anticipated 200 voting members)

Internet Failure and Election Process

According to Rule 22 or our Proposed Standing Rules, if a voting member's internet connection is lost, they may cast their vote by calling a special Election Phone Number. Phone votes must be received prior to the official announcement of the vote. If your equipment fails, call this number to place your vote: 206-297-8200 – state your name and congregation and your selections for votes. SORRY, NO TEXTING, only a phone call. Please limit your use of this phone number to May 16 - and only for the purpose of casting your vote(s).



We look forward to gathering for this important business of the synod - thank you for sharing your time and wisdom - and serving in this important way!
