The BGCT has once again made history by electing a first. The first female to serve as president of the BGCT won on the first ballot by a 60 vote margin with 1740 votes cast. While everyone is publicly giving support to the president elect, Joy Fenner, messengers sent a clear message of support for new directions and disdain for the status quo.
Messengers also brought motions regarding no confidence for the executive board and team, a rejection of no confidence, a motion to evaluate the necessity of the COO position, and raised several questions concerning cuts in the evangelism missions budget with increases in the area of communications. The budget was readily adopted in spite of the voiced opposition.
Nominations have now been made for 1st VP with just a fraction of messengers present for that session as the session electing a president.
All in all, attendance seems to be minimal considering this is to be a time to celebrate the tenure of EC Charles Wade. Further updates to be posted later.
