Tuesday, Sept. 25 is the deadline to nominate officers to be elected at this year’s convention. The president and vice president are elected from the current diocesan board or previous board with the Moderator’s approval. To nominate a candidate for other offices, a written nomination must be sent to a member of the nominating committee prior to the convention. The same holds true for those being nominated from the floor at the convention. Nominations must include a letter of recommendation from their parish priest and can be sent to Friddell.
 
The annual convention will take place Friday, Oct. 19 and Saturday, Oct. 20 at St. Mary’s Church, Umbarger. The theme of this year’s convention is Catholic Women: Reflecting God’s Joy. The DCCW Woman of the Year will be announced at a banquet the opening evening of the convention.
