Certification

The certification process is now open! Delegates and Alternates are elected by the governing body of a parish. The Clerk of the Vestry traditionally fills out the certification form and the ecclesiastical leadership (Rector, Priest-in-Charge, Deacon-in-Charge, Vicar, or Senior Warden) signs the document. Please note that if your parish has clergy leadership, they will sign the form before lay leadership (so the above list of positions is also given in the preferential order of who should sign the document). Please review the Delegate Profile when considering who you will nominate to be a delegate to convention.

Helpful Hint: Have the Clerk complete the form below. Use the name of the person who will sign the form and input their email address to verify the signature. This will make the process much smoother and quicker. DO NOT use any other name or email address for the signature field at the end. Certification forms are audited and will have to be resubmitted should they be incomplete or signed incorrectly.

Before or after certification, you may register your parish for the appropriate delegation size. Click here to go to that page.

For questions regarding your parish or community’s delegation or registration, please email Jon Humber at jhumber@dioet.org.
