Synod Bylaw 4.8.2(d) explains the expectation of conference attendance:
(d) All ordained and commissioned ministers on the district rosters are expected to attend meetings of their official conference or present a valid excuse.
(1) Attendance at the official conferences shall be obligatory for ordained and commissioned ministers serving in congregations and parishes.
(2) Those whose offices in the Synod, district, or other agency impose professional or service requirements on which full and regular conference attendance makes undue demands shall, nevertheless, in consultation with their supervisory boards, arrange for their own partial or occasional attendance and participation in their own official conferences in accordance with policies established by their supervisory boards.
If you are unable to attend the conference, click here to submit an excuse. Please note: If the church worker(s) from your congregation is (are) unable to attend the Professional Church Workers Conference, the assessment must still be paid.
