Delegate and Alternate Certification – Triennial 2024
Two, multi-part steps are required to ensure that your delegation has completed the proper paperwork for Triennial Meeting, which is part of the General Convention of The Episcopal Church.
Step One – Registration: Registration for the General Convention is done by your diocesan office
- Provide a list of delegates and alternates who will be attending Triennial Meeting to your diocesan office because they need to be registered along with the bishops and General Convention deputies.
- Arrange for payment of the registration fees with your diocesan office. Please do not send payments to the ECW, head of certification, or ECW treasurer. (For your convenience, a list of registration fees can be found below.)
- Reserve hotel rooms in Louisville through your diocesan office. Bishops, delegates, and deputies stay in the hotel assigned to their diocese. Reservations must flow through a single source. How hotel rooms are paid for is handled on a diocese-by-diocese basis.
Again, please do not send money for your hotel rooms to the ECW, head of certification, or ECW treasurer.
More information about registration, including cost, may be found on the General Convention website.
Certification by the National Episcopal Church Women
Step Two – Certification is completed by the NECW Certification Coordinator
- Each diocese may certify up to 4 delegates and 2 alternates. Each organization may certify up to 2 delegates and 2 alternates.
- The head of delegation should complete and return the certification form that is downloadable on this page or complete the online form below.
- If you do complete the downloadable form, it is preferred that the certification form be scanned and emailed to certification@ecwnational.org. However, it may be sent via postal mail to the NECW Certification Coordinator:
Beth Agar
2315 Georgetown Place
Bellevue, NE 68123 - Keep a copy of this form with your Triennial files.
It is essential that you report any changes in your delegate/alternate list to Beth Agar, the NECW head of certification, promptly. That may be done by emailing her at certification@ecwnational.org. We ask that any email received prior to a change be forwarded from the previous delegate to the new delegate.
ALL certification forms must be returned no later than April 26, 2024
