Two committees, the Credentials Committee and the Tellers Committee, were appointed during the state convention’s opening session Nov. 17. The Committee on Committees was also named during the Tuesday sessions.
State convention President Jimmy Jackson, pastor of host church 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.
