Two committees, the Credentials Committee and the Tellers Committee, were appointed during the state convention’s opening session Nov. 17. The Committee on Committees also was named during the Tuesday sessions.
State convention President Jimmy Jackson, senior pastor of Whitesburg Baptist, Huntsville, in Madison Baptist Association, announced the appointments 30 days prior to the annual meeting in accordance with bylaw requirements, but messengers had to ratify the appointments during the meeting.
The convention Credentials Committee helps with problems regarding registration and seating of messengers.
Serving as chairman of the committee was Philip Morris, Heflin Baptist. Serving with him were Scott Bush, Southcrest Baptist, Bessemer; Robert Heard, First Baptist, Pelham; William Gregory Hyche, Brent Baptist; Terry Sutton, First Baptist, Montevallo; Roger White, Liberty Baptist, Crossville; and Joshua Young, Westside Baptist, Boaz.
Tellers Committee members would have helped convention officers tabulate convention votes if ballots had been used.
Steven W. Loggins, Beechwood Baptist, Mount Olive, served as chairman. Other members were Matt Basford, Hartford Baptist; J. Brad Eubank, Bethsalem Baptist, Billingsley; Steve Johnson, Union Springs Baptist, Randolph; and Billy Kendrick, Millry Baptist.
