Scores of Alabama Baptists were approved by messengers attending the 180th annual session of the Alabama Baptist State Convention to serve on the governing boards of convention-related entities. Also approved were individuals to serve on the various committees of the convention.
Travis Coleman of First Baptist, Prattville, told messengers the Committee on Boards and Commissions met several times.
Coleman explained that some of the recommendations are dictated by bylaw requirements for geographical representation, such as membership on the executive committee of the State Board of Missions.
Presenting the report of the Committee on Committees was Ryan Whitley of First Baptist Church, Center Point. Whitley reported the committee had worked cooperatively with one another and with state executive director Rick Lance.
Both reports were adopted unanimously by voice votes. A complete listing of those approved for service follows. The list was provided by the offices of the State Board of Missions. An asterisk (*) before the name indicates a layperson. (TAB)
