Nominating Committee Survey 
What's this survey for?
To develop stronger lay leadership and help us fill Board and other committee positions.
The ESUC Nominating Committee is seeking congregational input to identify ways we can develop and sustain strong lay leadership at East Shore. Your responses to this survey will help us understand members' perspectives and needs when considering serving in leadership roles. We will use this information in our efforts to fill next year's Board and Nominating Committee positions.  The survey will also help us develop ways to nurture new leaders throughout the church. 

What do you mean by "leadership"?
Leadership at ESUC can take many forms, including chairing the Board or committee, serving as an officer on a committee. or being a supporting member of a committee, task force, or other group.
