Governing Board | Open Positions for 2023

In the upcoming Annual Meeting, we will need to vote in new Governing Board members for the Extensions, 3Stone at Large, and Chinese at Large positions for 2023. We want to take this opportunity to truly thank those that have faithfully served in those positions for the past few years (Tony Mei | Extensions, Michael Tsang | 3Stone at Large, and Ada Lee | Chinese at Large).

The candidates put forward by the nominating committee are as follows:

  • Extensions: Janice Lu

  • Chinese At Large: Bobby Wu

  • 3Stone At Large: Joyce Ling, Lawrence Wee (Floor Nominee)

3Stone Diaconate | Open Positions for 2023

After the upcoming Annual Meeting, 3Stone will need to elect a Nominating Committee to nominate candidates for three Diaconate Positions: Education, Evangelism, and Worship. We also want to take this opportunity to thank those that have served faithfully over the last term (or longer): Manuel Valladares for Education, Justin Mui for Evangelism, and Sook Yee Yeung for Worship.

While there is a nomination committee that will select a single candidate for each position, Members can also nominate additional candidates (with the candidates consent). Unlike for GB floor nominations, only 5 signatures from other Active Members are required. This must be submitted along with a brief summary of the proposed candidate to Reverend Stephen Ko or Reverend Cristobal Tong. Before the candidate is approved and added to the vote, verification of eligibility will be conducted by church leadership according to Article X of the bylaws.
