Whereas, a cross representation of all constituents of the Church on boards and agencies is necessary for their most effective work; and
Whereas, the inclusion of ethnic minorities in representative numbers on every board and agency at all levels of the Church is consistent with the doctrine, Discipline, and "Social Principles" of the Church;
Therefore, be it resolved, that the delegates at the various jurisdictional conferences be urged to be intentional in their nominations to the various general boards and agencies to assure that ethnic minorities are elected to these boards and agencies in representative numbers; and
Be it further resolved, that the nominating committees of each annual conference include in their nomination and election process an equitable number of ethnic minorities on every board and agency.
