Province I Board Meeting October 2020

The Province One Board has met twice since the last NECW Board meeting – September 21 and October 19th. The boards of the dioceses of Province have not been meeting.

Diane Nichols (62) our Program Chair and Diocese of Western Massachusetts UTO coordinator, died October 16th of cancer. She was a lovely dynamic God filled woman who was a great joy to know and be with. We miss her.

The Rev. Liz Habecker of Diocese of Rhode Island has become the Chaplain to the Province Board.

As reported in August, Province 1 held a very successful Zoom Annual Meeting. Still receiving positive comments in October.

Susan Howland, President, is preparing a special report for the Province Web and Facebook for Advent which will feature the history and story of Deacons. If not ready for Advent will be posted for Epiphany.

The next Province Annual Meeting for 2021 was discussed. Possibly in April.

We think we cannot hold virtual elections. Therefore, there will be a hold on officers until we can have elections in person. It was decided to drop the nomination/election of a representative for Church Periodical Club. This is currently in our bylaws. Looks like some bylaw changes are scheduled to be made.
