Trustees of the Episcopal Church Corporation

Elect 1 Cleric and 1 Lay for a 3-year term.


Description of duties: The Episcopal Church Corporation in West Texas holds title to the permanent funds
and other property belonging to the diocese. It has
authority to receive bequests and donations, and to sell
or mortgage property to which it holds title. As such,
Trustees should have an understanding of/interest in
financial, real estate, and property matters. The Trustees work with the Bishop on designating certain restricted funds as they are needed in ministry. There is
usually monthly contact needed with the Trustees, and
a substantial amount of the Trustees business historically was done via telephone and mail, then confirmed
at their quarterly meetings. Today, most business is
done electronically, via email.
