Special Offices

Special duties are sometimes filled by board members, but may also be appointed to women who do not serve on the board.  There are currently several special offices, including:  Newsletter Editor, Websteward, Cluster Administrator, Sister Synod Coordinator, Prison Ministry Coordinator, Convention Coordinator, Fall Gathering Coordinator,  and Nominations Committee Chair.

If you have an interest in assisting with these duties, would like to offer your services to coordinate a new program/ministry, or would like to be considered for the next opening, please email us at !


Newsletter Editor
The newsletter editor is responsible for soliciting input for articles, editing and layout of content, maintaining subscription addresses, collecting subscription fees, and coordinating mailing and distribution of the newsletter. The current newsletter editor is Pat Marruffo and she can be reached on 915-772-7898.  

The Views from the Rockies is published quarterly with a special Convention issue distributed during even numbered years.

 

Websteward(ess)
The position of Websteward is a new and challenging position that opened up in the Fall of 2002.  Duties of the Websteward include soliciting contributions, layout and maintenance of web pages, monitoring the common email inbox, and promotion of the website.

Our current Websteward is always seeking new ideas, input, and help with the website.  If you are interested in assisting with our current website, or would like to consider filling the position permanently in the near future, please contact us! 


Cluster Administrator
The current cluster administrator is Shirley Gronemeyer.


Sister Synod Coordinator
A few years ago, Stephanie Wilson traversed the seas to visit our Sister Synod of Madagascar, off the south-eastern African coast.  Stephanie had the opportunity to meet and work with women and families in Madagascar.  If you have questions about how to help the Betela seminary and to support ELCA mission work in Madagascar, Stephanie is a great person to talk to! 

At our 2002 convention, we passed several resolutions indicating our commitment to support relations with our Sister  Synod of Madagascar.

 

Prison Ministry Coordinator
In the year 2000, resolutions to help support prison ministry in our synod were passed.  Carole Cameron has indicated a special interest in helping to rejuvenate our commitment to incarcerated women.  If you would like to participate in a program that brings the hope of Christ into the lives of women in prison, then please contact Pastor Emily Cardin of New Beginnings Church on 303-831-7023. New Beginnings Church is sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado and Prison Congregations of America.
