2008 Directory of Deacons The Autumn 2008 Directory of Deacons is now available on Diakoneo Online, or by clicking here. NAAD 2009 Election Process Timetable The NAAD Nomination and Election process was modified at the 1997 Biennial meeting to provide for a written nomination process followed by a mail ballot prior to the Biennial meeting. The ballot will include biographical information on each candidate. Should election to any office not be achieved by plurality of votes cast, an additional ballot containing the names of not more than twice the number of names as vacancies to be filled shall be circulated to the members by mail. Didn't that read like the voting process for the Academy Awards? If you're still awake, the time-frame for the 2009 election process, plus the nomination form can be found here. NAAD Courses Through CALL! Many of the Center for Anglican Learning and Leadership’s (CALL's)courses are designed in collaboration with the North American Association for the Diaconate. These courses may be used for continuing education opportunities for deacons, as well as for preparation for deacons in training. Look for NAAD markers throughout the CALL catalog. NAAD members are entitled to the team discount registration rate for any CALL course. When registering, indicate NAAD as your team. The NAAD courses on the CALL website can be found here. Please Take Part in Our Survey! NAAD is working with Professor Adair Lummis, longtime researcher from Hartford Seminary, to collect and analyse important data on the diaconate. NAAD is one of the only organizations that advocates for deacons, their vocational development, lifelong learning and other issues. To be effective in this, we need your help! Please take a few minutes to help us further our order. You can begin the survey by clicking the arrow below.
