Identify obligations that delegates to GA have to the congregation. The Committee shall help them determine the preferences of the membership on issues coming up at GA. The Committee shall help them determine how much freedom they should have in voting and how much obligation to reflect the majority stance of the congregation.
Recruit people to be considered as delegates for GA and the annual Thomas Jefferson district meeting. Delegates shall elected to GA at the annual meeting. The Committee shall publicize the conference with information such as costs, dates, a description of the delegate’s obligation to this Fellowship and a description of what it is like to be a delegate.
Train delegates to GA. The Committee shall see that the delegates have the information they need to register and plan for their trip. This information should include a congratulatory letter and specific details on what they need to do to finalize their plans. The Committee should urge delegates to GA and the district meeting to caucus to plan their strategy--what stands they want to take, whether they want to vote as a bloc, etc. The committee should help prepare the delegates to give the Fellowship some feedback when they return. This might include newsletter articles and help with a Sunday morning program. Delegates shall report on major decisions made, including the fate of resolutions that the fellowship has studied during the year. Delegates should also report on their own activities and anything else of interest.
