Annual Meeting
What is an “annual meeting?”
The congregation as a whole, gathered at a meeting (usually held annually, soon after the first of the year), elects leadership to the vestry and representation to Diocesan Convention. Annual meetings see the budget, even though in they don’t act to approve it (that’s the vestry’s job). Annual meetings can revise or adopt new bylaws, thus reconfiguring the congregation’s common life and moving it in new directions. The annual meeting also receives reports from the Rector, Vestry, Treasurer, standing committees and other organizations of the Parish.
